THE CIRCLE OF LIFE - Poem

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

I never thought I’d live to see the day

when racism, hunger and greed

would be worn on full display,

when soul would fight against soul

without a shred of heart left

or hope to ever find the light

nor that the evil would prevail!

We stooped low, now we decay.

No one to blame but ourselves

for trading the kids for the TV

for turning their infancies into

a meaningless show, a new series.

As for their bullying skills

no surprise, they can not feel,

always numb, not in the mood

-it all goes back to their childhood.

They grew up, turned into men

they blame you instead of themselves

for all damage, loss or fail.

The circle is complete. Amen

Lovely! So deep and I think all of us can relate to that.

Thanks @tattoodjay! Unfortunately this is the world we live in. Some people chose to ignore these issues.

Sadly many do 🙁
