An ailing humanity


Hark!
Hear their shrills of agony all around
The sense of ‘insurmountable’ abounds
Bereft of comprehension: a wet, crimson ground
Bold is to do more than frown
To help even one person is profound
The message of hope resounds
The time to act is now…

Author notes

In a list

    The perils of the human mind. War, greed and materialistic wants. Sadly Mother Teresa is gone and hope diminishes in this ME world. Words to be heard poet.

      Thanx.

      I don't drink wine either AND I try not to wine when I don't get my way. lol. I'm trying to put something in writing that others can feel - trying to construct a sense of what is real (for me).
