Those who claim to be unaware, are simply negligent

While they go about their day, living with indifference

They turn a blind eye to the falling, becoming pestilent

We need to be the contrast to them, their deliverance

Binding ties that grip the mind

Reality speaks, but so unkind

Fails to bring the healing vibe

Reminding me, things don’t jibe

Exhausted, as I trip and fall

No balance in this body, small

Wonder what it was I did not do

Always asking why, but never knew

Poisoned, I come down a notch

While others stop, and stare, and watch

As momentum drags me to my knees

Ugh! Dear God, I’m begging, please

Release my being, from this evil ride

That leaves me on the edge, wayside

 

Author’s note:  I am fine.  I wrote this because so many of my friends, as well as myself, are going through so many health issues, all of us, who grew up together.  You have to wonder….

They
Define
Apathy
Depressive lives
Changing direction
They yearn to be, yet still
Devoid of Human contact
They seek out other entities
Beings who sympathize, feel pity
Whose lack of faith defines humanity

He was betrayed

By those he loved

Left alone, to fend

Against the human

Demons who sought

After him, betrayed

By ones he thought

He could lay his trust

Isn’t it funny though

How we still carry on

This way, afraid to do

What’s right, until

It all goes wrong

And then we beg

His forgiveness…

They remain faceless
Lost, in an unforgiving world

Humanity, is tasteless
On the streets, their lives, unfurled

Sneers from others, laughter
People can be so cruel

Life is a living disaster
Why isn’t this unusual?

Homeless, they fight the sun
Before night and cold alight

Hoping to find anyone
Praying for those who might

Show compassion, lend a hand
Find them shelter from the cold

For they are, just as we are, human
Hoping, they too, can grow old
