I know not of the world and its pains,
Yet I keep counting my losses and gains.
Souls having no tomorrows;
Casualties of natural calamities
War torn soldiers and families,
Women, tortured and abused,
Affection starved kids, repeatedly refused;
All Inconsequential, when it comes to my sorrows.
I wish I understood the world and its pains,
So I could truly realize my losses and gains.
You surely should be proud of this one. Short, subtle, simple, and very direct. And despite of it being all of those, it definitely probes one, even if for a tiny bit, to reflect on the larger reality of life.
