an odd sense of liberation accompanies the realization
that apart from the fleeting moments of joy and amplified highs
the process of life continues to be an endless loop of adversity and misfortune.

only in releasing the hopes of a pleasant future
engrained since our youth by the leaders of society that
current suffering is to be endured in anticipation for gratification
that, yet again, will merely be a fleeting moment before we descend back
onto our path of torment.

the tragic acknowledgement that the pleasure is but just temporary
no longer binds the person who anticipates the short lifespan it is born with
as from the beginning when our first parents Adam and Eve failed us God has guaranteed
our happiness would always come with a harrowing cost.

how can a person reach their highest peak of emancipation
if all their time is spent working towards an end goal of bliss
that has proclaimed itself to be beyond the bounds of possibility?
have we ever taken into account that rather than striving to be rid of the adverse
it still remains a methodical presence we should consequently learn to embrace.
