why do we have to learn the hard way – v2


Why are we so broken,
so stubborn, so headstrong,
not listening to the wisdom
of our elders, of others?

Why do we have to struggle
to learn the hard way
being burned, injured;
why do we wander a dark path alone?

Why can’t we listen to
the wisdom of others
those who have walked
this same path before us?

Why can’t life be simple
breathing in their stories
learning from the experience
of our elders, of others?
