Overwhelmed

Frustrations on all the suffering I've witnessed...

Bandages don't heal unseen wounds

Even if we all know they're there

Sometimes life isn't fair

Life isn't fair

Horrific events occur as we're attached to our screens

Like we're stuck behind aquarium glass

Forced to watch but can't intervene

Unsolvable suffering overwhelms our world

And problems we can solve?

Still seem too massive to overcome

And I'll list you some

While hunger and starvation plague third world countries,

Millions still suffer with it in "The Land of the Free".

Even with amazing technological advances in medicine,

There are still many ailments and diseases even the most prestigious doctor can't cure.

Families all over suffer in maintaining stability,

Which affects their children in the long run.

Tragedies like mass shootings happen

In some of the most trusted buildings we know, like schools.

The world has many problems

And suffering is a human condition

I'm afflicted with this addiction

To save the world

But I'm no Atlas

My shoulders would be crushed under the world's weight

Yet I can't wait

To at least help in improving the world

We can't be saviors

So we need to be helpers, teachers, listeners, counselors, prayers

HOPERS

DOERS
