Droplets

The world is broken,
Suffering surrounds it,
Enveloping it in darkness,
How can I help the world feel a little less broken?
How can I feel a little less broken?
I cannot reconcile the world’s vitriol with the utopia in my mind,
Wished for as a child,
All I can do is make a small difference,
One drop at a time,
Until like an ocean, good deeds wash away the bad,
Shall I put forth my actions?
A cacophony of dissent,
Against a world that tries so hard to immolate itself,
To thine own self be true,
My truth is a productive irritant,
I will dismantle the hateful systems of the world,
I will make a difference,
One droplet at a time.
