Praying For Miracles

Here we stand, run, walk, talk...
Some slouching, paralyzed,
Scarcely breathing... 

 

 

Others, wining every race,
Perfect faces, faultless grace,
And warm places to lay sleepy heads.  

 

 

Food for the mind, the daily grind,
And for what, a slice of bread?
A drip of water on a parched tongue? 

 

 

The haves feast on the sublimes
Using other creeds, as their toys...  

 

 

Scenarios of the creators virus
Dance like dust-mites around the iris...
And like fools we pray for miracles

    WOW

    I read this and got goosebumps. I feel that so many take for granted what they have because they have never lost, but those that have lost never take for granted what they have gained. Great write. Best of wishes in the contest. mandie

    "Scenarios of the creators virus

    That last stanza did it for me. Absolutely amazing. Not only is it an amazingly strong piece, but it's accurate as well. We cannot just sit back and pray for change... we have to do something about it. At least that's what I got out of it. Very strong points, very brilliant imagery. Good luck and thank you for entering.
