Effulgent ... Squint

Today’s word is “effulgent” ...  shining forth brilliantly; radiant. (Dictionary.com)

Squint
In this world of confusion
     Where do we find answers?
Are we enough? Our collective 
     Wisdom? Our intelligence?
Our long history of problem solving?
     To find a way out of our
          Dilemmas ... 
ironically, self imposed.
     Why do we do these thing to ourselves?
We so want to see the effulgent light
     Of a new day.
Yet, the harder we try, the more 
     Confusion and pain. 
Perhaps we should not be left
     To our own devices.
