Dies irae (Part Two) ~ Thursday, May 27, 2021

Solve first the paradox of existence, why life on this lonely planet

under circumstances beyond any control, beyond all certainty

cause and effect give clues to the arrows of time but specious reasons

kick balls and watch them writhe in pain, riddle unsolved, try to fly past this net

Stuck in language, nation, religion, politics, souls grounded to country

humanity rises beyond the naked eye, yet returns casualty

involved in its success, deprived of basic needs, stars are but distant suns

their warmth is nought but hope, starvation, poverty, please accept the challenge

Arguments pro or con become caught in the nets, fly past, watch your son die

needlessly we suffer, we neglect attention when we need vigilance

dance, drink, drug and party, while India builds pyres, the dead don't lose no sleep

Determined to control weather changes the game, the power to take a chance

insult to injury, we add rub to the mix, but the rewards we reap

existence solves itself, there is no solution, no paradox, revenge
