“Monk with elephant in the forest”

I’ll not believe we must have war
To those in need, we close the door
To have your cake and eat it too
You must have more than is your due
That good is weak and kind is limp
Awakened is not more than crimp
In hoarding’s side when greed will do
Short-sighted is this kind of view
That tempering one’s expectation
Is just some kind of affectation
A soft facade that’s wiped with ease
By hand that does not thank or please
This sort of world is not my dream
It’s selfishness writ to extreme
Yet is it disingenuous
To blame that things are such a mess
When I have privilege enough
My darkest day is not that rough?
I think it wise to find one’s focus
Hope zealousness for change will stoke us
From pit of gloom we can be shoved
Towards a world we’re all proud of!
