Why Must Suffering Exist?

November 16, 2020

Why must suffering exist? Why must love ones never return? Why must we endure hardship while those above us never learn?

Why can't we have a say in what happens on the next page? Why can't we be more to power than a bird trapped in a cage?

Why must victory be ripped away when it only just entered our grasp? Why must the light be snuffed out by the darkness without even a gasp?

Is there no way to end this struggle Until someone loses and someone wins? Is it so hard to say I'm sorry And to forgive another for their sins?

Must we fear that which is different? Can we accept others that aren't like us? Can we agree upon what's real? And cast out hatred without a fuss?

Suffering is precious as much so as hope and light without it, we wouldn't know that there was even a fight

Why must there be suffering? It exists so we may overcome it We become united in suffering And together, we will overcome it
