Across more than six decades
I look back,
and wonder:
was it worth it?
No.
Too much pain
too much suffering
Came from
Stupidity
Selfishness
and greed
and "my rights first"
And that hate born of
insecurity
All my lessons could have come more easily;
All others lessons have yet to be heeded.
No,
this life
was not
worth the pain.
