"Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable." - Buddha


Expectation of change,

but the blame isn’t claimed.

Explosive action churns 

whilst begging and praying.


Boiling anger peaks

The consequence matters

Diminished, ignored.

Frustration evaporates

Helpless.


Inevitable future,

the fault is your own.

Mockery is received

Is this what it takes to be heard?


Too tired,

weak.

Hard to breath

Bite our tongue

Respect for the elders.


The past prevails 

And once it catches us,

The future will be too far behind.


The author's comments:

When writing this piece, I had in mind crises in the world today that go ignored. We are the future generations, and although it is a given we must act now to help resolve the climate crises, we cannot, we are helpless. 

No matter how far we go, our efforts are futile. We are not heard, and the clock is ticking.
