Beauty and injustice


How much easier it seems, 
 Yet how more rare 
To awaken to beauty 
Than it is to awaken to injustice.
 Beauty requires no response but appreciation; 
Injustice, though… frustration, guilt, horror? 
Shamed by our inaction or our helplessness? 
Feelings that linger, 
 Haunt our dreams and waking hours, 
 Though we try instead to focus
 On beauty…
