Them & Them


They have organized sports;
They have street level fisticuffs.

They have University Fraternities;
They have Criminal Organizations.

They have tropical vacations;
They have extended vacations.

They have hard knocks;
They have golden parachutes.

Perhaps…

But this is what you must know;
All is motherfucking sorrow.

All is a quest for meaning;
Amidst the lies of material being.

All is interposed with tears;
All is a confrontation with fears.

All is the shedding of blood;
Washed away by rain in a flood.

All there really is -

is

You.

Author's Note
I don't consider the sentiments, expressed in this piece, to be those of mine, but rather, I am merely an outsider making observations. I think my true sentiments, in this regard, are perhaps complex, as fitting a complex issue.
