This sadness knows no end it seems.
Drenched in it,
Soaked into seams.
Drowning world
From unreal dreams.
Ears so closed
To others’ screams
For justice,
Equality,
An open ear.
We cry alone
Who cry for fear
Of closed-in world,
No listening ear.
But we will shout,
We will be heard,
We are not animals
Coralled as herd.
Where others fear to plough a furrow,
Remember, please, that come tomorrow,
When your chaos reigns and help is sought,
Who counted others’ screams as naught?
Diminished earth in space and time
There is no time to tread a line
Of non-commitment to a cause,
Upholding unjust, archaic laws
That seek to separate and blight
The human race in hate and spite.
Open minds to all you see
And hear and read
So you may be
A better Man than he. Or she.

Sadness knows no end.
Drenched in it,
Soaked in seams.
Drowning world
Unreal dreams.
Ears closed
To others’ screams.
Justice,
Equality,
The open ear.
Cry alone,
They cry for fear.
The closed-in world,
No listening ear.
We shout,
To be heard,
Not as animals
Not corralled.
Where others fear to plough,
Chaos reigns and help is long,
Who counted others’ screams as naught?
On a diminished earth,
There is no line,
No uncommitted cause,
That held justice with archaic laws.
The human race lies in spiteful hating.
Open minds do better
Through hearing and reading.

This is outstanding. Do you live in North Carolina? This is precisely how many of us feel who are fighting for those in need and those without a voice, only to have a legislative body turn deaf ears and take actions to make the lives of those in need worse. Thanks for sharing, BTG

I live in Scotland. But, I suppose we all have bodies of ‘representation’ who turn a deaf ear. Kind of like this https://scottishmomus.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/the-polis/ x
