#30Layers30Days–Not Every Puzzle Is Meant to Be Solved
The next puzzle piece has yet to be created
This is why we wallow in a chronic state of violence, oppression and hatred
There hasn’t been an antidote, a vaccine or legislation
that has rendered us kind, empathetic and gracious
The piece is still missing
And we’re paralyzed and broken
Making me a token hasn’t placated me: IT’S NOT WORKING
“The next puzzle piece” indicates that the last piece was found
But the puzzle is a puzzle because it’s meant to confound
Confusion and defeat are comfortable and addictive
They blind and constrict us, two of the reasons we have yet to locate the pieces that are missing
But it’s American for the wrongdoers, the voluntary blinded and constricted to be absolved
Because not every puzzle is meant to be solved
The next puzzle piece has yet to be created
We’re all waiting on a solution when we each have the power to make it
This post is Day 11 of a 30-Day Writing Challenge, #30Layers30Days
