and

to see potential order
in utter chaos.

to urge you
to transcend all suffering.

of the way things are,
can we change them.

Where is the evil?
In the will.

do the right thing.
The rest doesn’t matter…

Cold or warm.
Tired or well-rested.
Despised or honored.
Dying… or busy with other assignments.
