Nobody Can Accept How It Is

Nobody can accept
how things are.
That's the problem.
Nobody can accept
how they, themselves are.
That's the problem.
Nobody can accept
the state of the world.
That's the problem.
Nobody can accept
life as it is.
That's the problem.
It's because
of the pain.
The pain is because
we can't be satisfied.
The pain is hunger.
We are all leaning out
and reaching out
for some kind of change.
If the change happens,
we will be leaning out
for some other change.
We constantly want change,
but when it happens,
we don't like it.
We can't accept
things as they are.
I'm trying,
but can't always do it.
I recommend
love and acceptance,
but what do I know?
