Overcome By Sorrow

Overcome by sorrow There is so much misery in the world the bees are dying out the bumblebee has disappeared, elephants are sot for their ivory, the rhino for their magic horns, fish is being farmed in big tanks when are we going to farm sardines? So many wars in the Middle East, Africa starves among plenty IDF shots small children for the hell of it. I have no strength to read all of the tragedies, must prioritise try to feed a starving dog or feel sorry for a mule, I don`t know what to do the suffering is overwhelming I cry for the small child`s death, I shake my head but soldier on there must be a let up; but no, I can only try to make those nearest me to a bearable day.
