Why Do We Suffer
Dance
of death
begins at
birth, inducing
fear, for we know not
which breath will be our last,
however since we’re in trance,
we soon forget earth life’s fleeting
and so consume ourselves in pursuits
self-serving, lustful, narrow and unjust.
One day we will all wake up from the dream,
to know we’re soul and not body-mind
but then we first need to repair
the damage done in stupor,
since justice must prevail
and we all are one,
so we atone,
opting to
suffer
here.
