Harsh

July 5, 2026

Harsh,
this life,
harsh the reality of life.
Harsh these times,
for there is so much struggle,
and suffering in humanity,
and so many people walking on blindly over precipices,
and so many people not knowing which direction to go,
and so many lost souls,
and so many people dead inside,
and so many people burnt out,
and so many people counting time,
and not satisfied with their lives,
and so many people depressed,
and with so many people committing suicide,
it is harsh this life,
harsh this reality,
and so harsh are these times,
and I wish these times,
were not so brutal,
but it needs a revolution, humanity,
it needs a revolution in thinking,
to overthrow the brutality,
and the ignorance,
and the wilful wanton need,
to follow like sheep,
because people seem unable,
to make up their own minds,
and it is harsh this life,
harsh this reality,
and so, harsh are these times,
and a revolution of thinking,
is the only solution,
because we will never change anything,
if we do not get out of the rut,
and if we do not continually,
dumb down society,
and continually commit,
intellectual suicide,
how much better society would be,
without such depressives,
and the stresses of finance,
or the lack of finance,
with which far too many,
far too many of humanity live,
in their very unhappy lives
