Anguish

A dark time

 

 

Anguish

 

Leaders lie our nation cries

of wars and terrorists, a country

swayed with people betrayed.

Nowhere to go our souls remain

so strained, we scream for help and

times of long ago. Nowhere to start,

the heart is torn with much alarm.

We cry, we scorn the ways that warn

of destruction and frustration of life

and degrees of transformation, to pathways

shadowed by lies and tales which

detail sorrow and grief.

Males and females, young and old, rebirth

from earth and all that is known, we’ve

grown so cold how can we be so bold

to think we know the way?

We’ve strayed we need to get back

to the days of old, and not be quite so

cold. We sold our souls.

I scream, “Help us all before we fall in

anguish and in pain.”

Your thoughts Dear Lady, are very deep. I had to reread a couple of times to get it all.
This is a brilliant piece, well written and so true. The world has changed and is changing
and not for the better.
Our leaders do lie, we have been betrayed, the people no longer feel empathy as we once did.
Honesty and integrity are things of the past, gone the way of chivalry, old fashioned and obsolete.
Incredibly insightful read. Thanks for sharing your thought.

need to get back to the way it was.
