Inspired by Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Intertwined & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #232
what individual has not wondered
the origin or purpose of our lonely existence
only to die fraught sussing it out
the human condition
we hang out for a bit, and then depart this life
but we don’t know why
yet we are all intertwined
connected by circumstance or choice
where the welfare of one depends on the other
but the world has us seeing more apathy and neglect
attitudes of “some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make“
and “to hell with you, i’ve got mine”
seeing the neglect and horrid strife
in this world we call home
it puts even more distance between us
sadly, the answers for security aren’t readily available
compromise, solutions, charity, empathy
withhold, destroy, levy punishment, resistance
what to do, who to save, when to intervene
every action a consequence
and this, since the beginning of time
what does the world need most right now?
