I am devastated, in the deep darkness of despair in the ebony echoes of Erebus

I have given up on, and abandoned humanity, it is despicable and darker than the hell I'm in

It has reached the putrification level, and the stench of its ignorance is overwhelming

The masses of the deceived ones refuse to open their eyes and have made living among them impossible

Soon they will dry up and waste away like the cere desert that they deserve

In the black hole of hell I see a spark of light the size of a match and I reach toward it out of habit

It envelopes me in a cocoon of compassionate comfort that carries me to the wondrous womb of creation

I am deposited at the feet of wisdom, and wished I hadn't reached for that spark, I knew I was in for a correction

Wisdom tells me I cannot forsake humanity, for I am humanity, and I must go back and deal with it.

I am humbled...

etw

Yes, somethings you have to pass through
Try as we will to go around them. . .
Or turn away from them.
But this sounds pretty deep
I say, lay it at the Creator's feet.

Pray I say, that the wisdom you received will strenghten your endevour to save us all from hell, it's all on your shoulders now, like on all of ours, judging by our history in the dark corridors of hell, you think, that after Jesus tried, two thousand years ago, that you'll have a chance to do better?

"When we view every opportunity as a nail, we always react like a hammer". Humility is devoid of many of the pathways of life. We must walk until we find the right ones. A very moving, thought provoking poem from a great pen. JMW

Strong writing as ever, Eileen. You had me hooked with the bold assertions and graphic images, well-matched by the confidence and resonant clarity of the voice. A no-messing write which takes the reader by the scruff of the neck and... shakes! Yes, opt-out is not an option... even from this sea of apathy.... Hope you're well. Kate xx

Yes! Such truth, Eileen...we are all a part of humanity and must share in the good and bad, and to work together to make our humanity one that God will be proud of. We cannot shirk our duties, no matter how small they be.
Well said, my dear humanity-friend!

Quite powerful, Tiger Lily. Although we must all valiantly trek ever onward towards that tiny speck of light, there truly are many extremely dark days now when I ponder if it's already much too late for humanity.
