A Huge Unfairness Undermines the World
As when a loved one departs
- Something shocking, say your child
Killed in a car accident
Through your neglect
Or your lover, who has made you happy
Leaves …
… As abruptly as that
And you are disembowelled, disentrailed,
The core of you empty
And all of you sick with the emptiness
And yet you go on because you have to
- The normal ways -
And nobody knows.
The hugeness beggars belief
But this figment is a fact
Far beyond economics
Profound and metaphysical
The poison in the spiritual
The legacy of the Fall
The scandalous injustice
That is the fate of us all.
