Pain

I contemplated the sorrow, grief and strife that 
     causes so much pain.
And I looked at the diseases, accidents, and afflictions
     that affects the masses.
Everywhere I looked there was destruction and despair
     in my mind’s eye.
And then one sunny day I was strolling on the shores of
     the Atlantic Ocean
And I saw the sun as it dipped on the horizon in a clear blue sky with
     the water rushing up to the sand and felt the light breeze that carried a
     seagull.
