Elucidating Questions

This world has taught me one thing

It’s that no matter how much I’m suffering

If everyone else is fine

Nobody cares and they expect me to suffer alone in silence

It’s not even just me

Thousands of people are living like me or worse

But it doesn’t matter

Even the billions suffering around the world doesn’t move their hand

I don’t know how people live a happy life knowing what goes on in this world

I don’t know how they see unhoused people and think it’s their failure and not society’s

It seems so impossible to just erase all the pain for my own sake

Irresponsible even

So it doesn’t matter if I have to choose between two things that keep me going

No one will see me struggling

So it doesn’t matter, right?

Cruel

This world

That it would keep suffering people

What other way could there have been?

We now have the means to uplift every person out of poverty

But instead we’re playing a game of reverse funnel

Where we send all the money to the top so they can enjoy it while everyone watches

What a strange existence this is

How short and cruel
