Orlando Valentine

It breaks all our minds
and hearts the terrible
suffering in the world
and I think most of life
is spent trying to keep
that awareness at bay
but not to be instructed
by it and to waste
every drop of blood
in regret and remorse
seems infinitely worse
we are only what we intend to do now
not what we have or have not done
in memory we see where we’ve come
useful if you know where you’re going
or not if not
