Why So Much

With tears in my eyes, 

The wise man I implored, to tell me why

So much evil in the world 

Existed,

“Alas, 

into the dark chambers of your heart, 

the answer you will find.” 

Replied he, with a sigh!

Very wise, my dear poet...The answers lies within. If we want to change the world, we must start with ourselves, as you have said in this lovely epigram. Hugs

You are absolutely right, my dearest Eileen! Unfortunately, the majority of people wish the world to change but them to remain the same! Thank you so much for your precious visit and comment!
