I have become subtrist
Over a society that has become
Greedy without attaining any wisdom
From events that have transpired in the past
.
Ideally it is easier to pretend that all is good
When in reality it is absurd to believe this way
.
So much violence and hatred is spreading
Throughout the world engulfing innocent people
Only wishing for peace and happiness
.
There are those that are not grounded by a conscience
Having no regard for humanity and exploiting the poor
Innocent people that are unable to stand up for themselves
.
Unfortunately there will always be those that want power
By violence and uprisings to inflict pain upon all that oppose them
To anyone that tries to seek justice and peace
.
and...what am still more...avidulous to know...if things
ever...change...Love the sound of the word used in your
poem, Kathy. Thank you for sharing your writing.
