Poem on People

 

Sometimes, or is it most

I find human behaviour unfathomable

Unfair, unkind, carelessly unfelt

 

Hurting, upsetting, trampling

How does that help? Why does that happen?

I can not live if I can not care

 

Hatred, heartache, the wizened weak

Why do I try in this wretched wreck

Tumult, time, tired - of then and now
