"I Weep" it need not be so
I Weep for the old folks who were pepper sprayed,
I shed Tears
That we are continually divided.
My heart Breaks when I see Videos,
Showing pointless violence,
Against
Those who express opinions differing from my own.
~
My Heart Cringes at the thought that with so much
Plenty,
Many of my people go Hungry.
I Shudder to think of
All the empty and abandoned apartment buildings
And Houses, as
Homeless people wander and
Break into those empty places for warmth or
Shelter.
My heart BREAKS, my eyes water with
Anger,
Knowing these things need
Not Be So;
If only we would open our
Eyes
To SEE those who are behind
The scenes manipulating events.
~
As long as we cannot see the
TRUTH;
Work TOGETHER to
Make needed changes,
We'll not realize that
The real power is
OURS, not that of
The puppeteers

Thank you @awesomemike, I appreciate it. I'm getting ready to head out for a busy day, I'll try to stop by your profile when I get home.♥
Did you see my Mama's story @awesomemike, and if so, what did you think?
I liked how you explained the despair and troubles of life but injected hope into the ending of the piece. Nice write.
Why thank you so very much @moeknows.
I consider that a great compliment, and I appreciate it.
OMG, this is so emotional and there's so much truth in it.
Nice poetry, keep the passion burning.
Thank you very much @skinnyblackgirl. I've been in 'writers block' for several months, lotsa crap I'm going through in my life has monopolized my mind. It's not that I don't have inspirations, I just can't seem to get them to flow out of me.
I am happy you liked my writing.
his words are very touching
So true, the power likes within us. Not the warmongers and dividers. Great poem!
Thank you @snowpea
