The World and Us ... And a game.

Life isn't
as simple as we think.
Our world is large.
We can't cover
all vast expanse
of the land
on feet

Yet it is small
enough
for us to feel
for us to pity
for us to be guilty

Ever so oft
we exclaim
misery
we proclaim
ourselves
victimised

It is the I
It is we
Versus them
Who are they anyway?
Do you see them?
How much is my fault?
My every action
What I do
What I don't
Is it my fault
or yours?

I cannot pity
If pity is condescending
I don't know
where to begin
How
to help
But at least
a good start
I know
that the world is large
I am
Not Alone.
