Evil Dwells

Sad World

Feelings of the cold

from around our world.

Death chasing

after lives

that have meaning and hope.

No concern or thoughts

for the lives

that are taken

too soon,

done with a cold heart.

Regret and sorrow

is not felt

as only the

cold heart of

evil dwells here.

As the pain

of the death

and destruction is felt,

evil throws a party

to celebrate death.

Isn't the world turning that way Willard when you see someone bashed by a gang but no one helps but walks on. That song by Joel is so true only the good die young. What gets me is jail folk get a roof over their heads three meals a day , free medical paid by the taxpayer and the old or homeless who are good people but have had bad luck are forgotten deserve more. who says crime doesn't pay???? A good write Willard

Your words are true. Thank you for your time and comments on my work.

There are a lot of people who have a cold heart nowadays. It's devastating when you see the news, what happens and the reactions about it are numb, indifferent. Have we lost our humanity and all those feelings that make us a human being, I wonder sometimes if we aren't already lost. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Willard. :) Rudi

Very true Rudi and I agree. The world has produced some evil. And I may get shot for saying it but the new terror groups are doing their best to live up or exceed the Hitler's legacy. He did not hold the corner on evil.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

So true, Willard. We are living in a decade of terror now. I hope that the world becomes a safer place for our children and grandchildren. :) Rudi

Evils is all around us and yes it dwells in mens heart, but maybe just let it stay there. Thanks again for reading my work and commenting.

and still we learn no lessons and life continues on ....

[Willard Wells]

Very true, but sadly for many the life that continues is painful and full of fear. Will that live another day or will they see their children in the morning. Thanks, for stopping by and commenting.
