It Isn'T Very Hard

"IT ISN'T VERY HARD" when someone tells you: they've been murdered, segregated dismissed used abandoned hurt crying depressed suicidal alone homeless hungry drunk broke singled out laughed at wandering they've been brought back from the dead only to be murdered again, they've been thrown under the weight of false love, just listen. never tell the ant his pain doesn't match the anteater's. never tell the trees their pain doesn't match the wind's. never tell the earth it's pain doesn't match the rain's. death is pain. listen. listen. for the love of God, just listen.
