Difficulties

It is becoming increasingly difficult living in a world system
that does not listen.

Is incapable of response.
Is set on delusion.
Defends its choices.
Believes in death
& the means to go there
wrapping it all in a cloak of niceness.

The world is a mix of mediocrity,
terror, depravity & brute force,
punctuated by flares of brilliance
& tenderness, attempting to transcend.
