Poem -
Suffering
A hierarchy of thought
Lost beauty
Bankruptcy
A lost opportunity Â
The end of a dynasty
Injury to an athlete
A vicious text
Bullying and torment
Glass ceilings
Humiliation
A loveless marriage
The cold sting of unrequited love
Betrayal and infidelity
A court ruling against
Life without parole
Loneliness and isolation
The chasm of mental illness
Disease and chronic pain
And innocent person hanged
A mother who lost her child
A child who lost her mother
Endless cycles of domestic violence
The sick and dying on the Burma Railway WW2
The persecution of a race, religion, or group
Genocide
Belief in God and faith
No belief in God or faith
Hunger, thirst, no warmth, no rest
A hierarchy of thought

Thanks much appreciated fish of the sea. I am currently reading a book about prisoners of war on the Burma Railway WW2, which details their unbelievable suffering. It was the inspiration for such a dark poem.Â
