The Causes of Suffering


The society and it's ideals, 

are wrong and horrid.

Lack of individualality,

the effect is suffering.

 

The grades in schools,

may lower self esteem and worth.

Causes competition and ego,

the effect is suffering.

 

Capitalism and money,

greed and power.

It is a whole competition of social classes.

The effect is suffering.

 

You might ask,

what would I change.

The answer lies in all of us,

the effect is humanity.

 

As a great man,

once said to the people.

"We cannot change the world,

until we change ourselves."
