The Gift
Published in

Today I was given a gift, the gift of time.
I spent last night ruminating
over the politics of the world.
It brings me to a place of unease.
I have no power there, in that space.
I am a helpless traveler here.
I always thought empathy was a good thing-
This spiritual awakening stuff is rough.
How does empathy help when all is in chains?
There must be an answer, I have time.
My thoughts ramble as does my disgust.
Daily deeds, gratitude, reaching for the stars,
how does that make a difference,
at all.
I still have gratitude, I still have time.
The pain, greed, lust, hate on this planet
is beyond words…
is the counterbalance working at all?
I don’t hear you…
That is what I thought.
Where the fuck did my tribe go?
