Dead, that part of being which could truly feel,
numb the heart of knowing, devoid of relevance,
nothing is important in that place of cold emotion;
sympathetic soul surrenders; bereft of eloquence.
Hungry is the self which craves for new meaning,
scavenging through scattered crumbs of possibility,
picking gently with bony, withered fingers of hope;
desiring to be nourished; healed of vulnerability.
Threaten do the realms of hopelessness and fear,
hostile in dimension and intended brutal cause,
convinced surrender can hold off all future pain;
bent on suffocation of all senses; no remorse.
Hungry is the self which craves for new meaning,
threaten do the realms of hopelessness and fear,
dead, that part of being which could truly feel;
distant is the song of life: yet love can always hear.

This rings deep with the fatalism of Masai absolutist doctrines. I sense the pain intensely.
