Is it too late to change?

Poem Artwork

November:  it's the time for dying:
leaves give up their ghosts, fading
scraps of color on the ground.

November:  when graves of Veterans
open for one day of memory and close
unless convenient:  so much for sacrifice.

November:  a time for thanksgiving,
when the stomach recalls plenty - tell
that to those wasting away from hunger.

November:  the time for holiday
shopping except for the poor who can't
afford a tree, let alone Christmas gifts.

November:  it's the time for dying, one
piece of the soul at a time ... someone
please restore my faith in humanity.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/2)

Girl, are you telling me that I have died eighty-two times already?
Well well, talk about a funny ghost!

Beautifully put. You take a wispy thought and refute it (actually blow it away with reality). This is a great little Katauta. P.S. Read Richard Cederberg's "A Noble Man" and your faith will be restored. --Charlie

I feel the same way, sometimes. What happens is that we all love to read scandal, gossip, etc. the bad and very little of the 'good Samaritans', etc. But there is much good in the world too. I'm proud to be from the same country as Bill Gates, a man who, along with his wife, set up probably the largest charitable foundation in human history! Think how much they are helping others!!!

One day At A time
Life should be lived One Day At a time
Forget about the past, its gone
beyond our reach
and don't look into the future
For tomorrow is not there
till you wake in the sunrise
Of a new "Today"
Peace and love be with you

out of all the bad that goes on here and aboard, there are good they just don't report it. Today someone dropped a tear and there was a shoulder it landed on. Today someone lost a home and gained a family lost a friend and gained strength you/we havegot to know that it is truly all in divine order and that now in November for us somewhere for someone else it is May........much love to you Karla there will be better days ;)

thank you for all your words and visits

Where's the positive? November is a time for reflection about what was, is and shall be - like the spiritual reminder of the upcoming season - Christ's birth. I can appreciate your sadness, but you JUST have to look for the silver lining. Otherwise, it will wear you down and life will be bleak. I have an extra pair of rose-colored glasses that I can let you have.

Love - a good thing - you. Kathy

Humanity is alive and well in MOst of the world...believe it or not. WE hear only the bad stuff from the media. WE are rarely given the GOOD news as that doesn't make the network points for Neilson.

Karla, you have a knack of saying so much in few words. Sometimes I think, "WILL it change?" While we laud America as being the greatest country in the world, I have to say it truly is; however, the problems lie not in our country but in our countrymen who bankrupt this countries natural resources,who distribute drugs and destroy the lives of young people, parents who neglect to teach their children proper conduct, standards of behavior and morals, lawbreakers, and many many more reason that room doesn't allow here.

Karla, I know just where you're coming from with this. It's frustrating to see all that's happening today and still have a positive outlook. Keep your faith in God strong girl. So much of what's happening in the world today has been foretold in Revelation. It's only a matter of time before God gets totally fed up with us. Personally, I wouldn't blame Him at all for taking all His blessings back. I guess that I’m a bit old fashioned, And that I still believe in right from wrong; But I also know the trail we’re taking, Is not the way to keep our country strong. It's time to go back to the basics, But I’m afraid it might be too late; Now that God has taken His sign down, I dread what’s to come, I fear for our fate. I won't miss this poor old world one bit; a much better place awaits us. God bless you Karla.

Very powerful, and very sad, Karla. And it really does seem to be a huge struggle these days to keep faith in humanity. In fact, it seems harder all the time, but I guess we must press on, and maybe one day, things will get better.

Dear Karla, I know this is about the seasons and so much more. It seems this is a bad month for some of my friends who transitioned in the last week and the month has just begun. Some are in hospice. Because you care your faith in humanity actually shines throughout all of your works. PLB&G for caring and sharing. This write speaks volumes. < < < < < < <HUGS>>>>Mikii

A poetic task duly performed... "November: It's The Time For Dying" gives a lesson on how to reborn to live in a healthy manner of thoughts and actions to keep me aware of the danger, and to search for the goodness of mankind.

I salute You, Poet.

In admiration,

Life may seem sad, especially since it is November, but there are good people out there. We just have to look for them. Powerful write and reminder to help those who are less fortunate and to remember our veterans, past, present, and future. Thank YOU for your service!

Excellent poem; very well penned! BRAVA!

You seem so sad, Karla . . . Life is beautiful . . . America is the greatest country in the world who opens her arms AND pocketbooks to the poor. What we call poor here is middle income in some countries . . .
