Poem: Life is Suffering for all Life

If you are alive

You obviously already know

None of us escapes suffering

Not even the weeds, the one cell organisms, or even the tree

All of us die

Perish then decay

Energy transferring to different forms

Molecularly still in movement

And yet all emotionally

connected to:

We don’t want to die, ever

What is true will happen

anyways
