Poetry list

futility

aggression and violence
unbridled
destroy to grab
overpower
dominate
we are enslaved
by our inability
to live
with difference
and
outlaw injustice
transform our base
nature and
drives
with goodness
and compassion
maelstrom of
raving temper
cold calculation
of status and
control
nothing is gained
everything
becomes futile
only love’s
redemption can
remain

where is it?

it is
pain and death
and loss
that
will lead us
to the source
and
power of
meaning
