The Tragedy Of This World... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Tragedy Of This World...



the tragedy of this
world is not mine alone
this is our greed
our very own selfishness
we all have a share
of this violence

do not underestimate
a poor man
do not despise the rich
given the chance
to interchange their seats
they will do the same

do not feel obliged
neither you shall feel blessed
when you laugh now
expect later the equal
weight of sorrow.
