While troubled hearts ache
and needless wounds bleed,
the waves unceasingly crash and recede.
While masses trade shackles
for shiny new chains,
the moon unflinchingly waxes and wanes.
While struggling souls add
to untenable debts,
the sun repeatedly rises and sets.
While fevers run hot
and medicines fight,
the birds greet the morn and the crickets the night.
