Cleaning My Closet

I was given a broom
and told
go clean your closet
but
I could not focus
upon
the task at hand

What about the world?
All that suffering?
What am I to do about it all?

So I sat down
broom in hand
and suffered too-
my closet
left untouched

Tasting my salty tears
I realized
My suffering
my sadness
did not help
the suffering of the world

Drying my eyes
I picked up the broom
and began
to sweep
in one small corner
