what a strange argument I have
sometimes in my own head
though with whom it is never clear
I hear the boom of the question
who has suffered most?
how should we compare
grief with grief
some people have the full measure of the cup
some only a fatal sip
how shall we measure it
how shall we come to terms
what in us yearns to find out
and would we lay our heavier burden down
on those we assume to have gotten off scot free
from misery
could I be you
could you be me
under similar circumstances
what is the point
every human being suffers
some at the end
some every day
for some even in dreams
it never goes away
God sees all
all suffering is small
compared with Christ
