Why man has stopped to listen to his heart?
Why man, after seeing a suffering soldier's lonely death still goes to war?
Why we insist on walking barefoot on a road made of broken glass?
Man should stop and listen to his heart,
because is the only one to tell the truth
when the ears are listening to many lies
and idols are standing in evil’s hooves.
Go man, walk your world, conscience
you think no need for, live life without,
one day you will reach that golden age
and will regret what you did with youth.
Man become deaf to many words said
truth whispered too many times before
don’t reach the ears of a greedy man
Justice has given its place to Mammon.
The people are walking on broken glass,
deaf, bleeding to dead they don’t know
that every shard is one more of little lies
that for not hear they heart, over, they walk.
A great title, so visual, physically painful, for a poem that shows the danger with a loving voice. Enslaved to Mammon, humans are not much. Conscience is lost, the heart has been cut by the glass we put on our way. A message of truth written in a personal style, Georg.
Georg - Walking On Broken Glass provides a powerful image in this life of a thousand cuts. Each cut alone is minor but combined bleeds the life from us. - David
Walking on glass is probably easier that facing the truth of who we really are, very profound, written as always with much soul!

So very true, many look, but do not see, therefore continue walking through this maze called life ignoring all the signs and repeating history once more. Georg, know I am a little late, but wishing you a wonderful and most fulfilled birthday! God bless always....
Hello George,
Another well penned emotive depth of your poetic express!
"Man should stop and listen to his heart,
because is the only one to tell the truth

What Can I Say? You Spelled It Out In The First Stanza So Very Well & That Is The Truth.
Wise and expressive thoughts, Georg. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

So true, and it is slowly dawning on mankind. There is a change in the wind. Yet, war will only cease when men refuse to fight, and govt's stop causing them, using fear as the motive...
Georg your words speak of life and the way it is and shall continue to be because people don't take time to listen to their own heart let alone others. Thank you for sharing.
Tragic tale of the reality of this world and the race known as mankind...sad that man keeps perpetuating murder with every generation it seems. Socially conscious write Georg, well done.

Man/Woman's heart becomes hard when they have lost the ability to listen to it. Some it feels like they don't even have one. Love Holly
