Lessons Learned — Basically in Vain

Life is an adventure of

endless meaning and wonder

where those who wish to enjoy it

are forced to struggle endlessly 

in an unfair game

just to obtain their right to live

from people — if they can be called people– 

infinitely worse than themselves

soon from the anguish

the body breaks down at an unnatural pace

and the ones who destroy life

and the wonder of the earth 

have everything 

while the rest of us are fated to wait for rest

basically in vain 

…

(of course it’s perhaps not too late to change this
IF we act individually, in concert, in time)
