Subtrist

Sometimes it is so sad to see what is happening and so many are unaware.

 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
.

Sadly, you are right in my estimation. This is a timeless and universal theme of this life/world. Love, peace, and best wishes to you, Kathi...

Whenever I am disappointed with my life (and that is often), I can always be grateful that I don't the profile in your poem. Thank you for showing us the many sides of tyranny.
