Misery
December 17, 2020
Who cares about beauty
I don’t have my bread
Who cares about disciplines
Home brought down by hurricane
Who cares about etiquette
No clean water in front of me
Who cares about kindness
Ragged clothes all I have
Who cares about integrity
Schools bankrupted
Who cares about the rights I have
Government closed
Who cares about climate
Clearly divorced
Who cares about belief
They’ve taken all I had
Who cares about neighbors
Dead already
Who cares about humanity
Nowhere to go
Who cares about universe
Nowhere to go

This is a piece about a person in desperation. He/she is fighting for survival, and has no time to care about the fancy/glory topics of life before finding a way to live on. His/her misery is not spiritual, but purely physical.
