Pain
So much pain in the world. No one notices. Because it's the norm. So many suffering in silence without uttering a word. Tensions are at the limit. Pain and suffering has exploded and no-one is safe from anything anymore. Despair and sorrow are part of the dish. They follow us like a lost shadow without a form. We drone through our days on this pain stricken earth. Some maybe be lost, some may think they are ok. But everyone has a thread in this pain and sorrow. What was once beautiful and innocent has transformed into a monster of despair that reaps the soul of the innocents. So much pain in the world.
