For Suffering Valentine

I had a sudden spell of sorrow
for the world that made me
cry for three days straight
it had flashed before me in a rush
a picture of all the pain and anger
and resentful disappointment
in life and in this world that exists
or has existed at any given second
and it was like a bomb
going off in my brain
for a long time I shook with tears
for what must happen to the earth
which I had only ever loved
because of this because of what
it must still undergo at the hands
of its own children
