'Those whose lives ended when . . . '


Poem Artwork

In society's satisfactory manner

They introduced the homeless

To a reservoir reserved especially

For human emotions and feelings.

Homeless in a very broad sense

Covering the broken-hearted and

Those whose lives ended when

They lost a loved one or friend.

Now being sent to a hollow where

No one can find it, not even in their

Most horrific dreams - it's like a

Dreaded incurable mind disease.

The Well of Souls is bottomless

It's walls are covered with the

Screams of all unconscious

Sufferers who were tossed aside.

Tossed aside by the uncaring and

The self-centered who make sure

All the non-animating individuals

Are disposed of neat and tidy.

Thrown down the Well of Souls

Where darkness and lifelessness

Prevail - once there, no one leaves

Except when their minds die off.

Then they're placed six feet under

With dirt thrown on their face - no

Flowers placed on their unmarked

Graves - lie there disturbed forever.

'2008' RLS

Tired, poor, weary, broken, hopeless, nevertheless, still a soul among souls. Best write. Two thumbs up!

When I went on Saturdays to feed the street people, I noticed their eyes, they were vacant of any emotion but pain. To get them to smile was challenging for they felt totally forsaken. This write touched me deeply. Love and hugs, Bonnie
