Complications
Earth
A world so basic
we make so complicated
a life we must stick
in the center of a boiling hearth
The world
Meant only to give us home
has become a mixing bowl of trouble
because humans make their own trouble to come
on their own terms in their own dream world
We make
each complication we complain about
whether our generation or the ones before
financial or social problems sprout
from laws and rules we humans bake
This life
plauges us with its twists and constriants
though we and our ancestors are the ones who sentenced us to this
our government we create to be our leading saints
but now we are doomed to feel its eternal knife
