i met a young mother whose skin was all whithered a broken-hearted lover whose eyes were all swollen a young lady laughing with teeth that were broken a father singing hymns with a son whose feet were both bandaged i heard a prophet saying the world is full of both gives and takers i spoke with some men who had no agenda i saw chidren playing hearts pure as the snow 'neath their boots i saw dead people talking and live people walking like zombies i heard young girls who were weeping a professor sleeping the users are winners the winners negated some warm-hearted people shivering in the cold some bad men living life all alone old women in trousers staying close to their homes too many people left dying alone There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Faith, this is a very retrospective look at society, and one of the first type of this kind of work I have seen you do. I like it. You, like me, see the bad in the world, because it is all around us and is not getting better, only getting worse. I compliment and applaud you for this well-written, deep poem. For some reason this line stood out of all the others . . . "a professor sleeping" I think it stood out because America is propagandizing their children rather than giving them a good education. ~ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.--Will Rogers ~ |

Dear JerryPat-I'm really touched by your comments. I see it as you say it and it is sad that things are not getting better. Thank you for making me feel fully understood. That is one thing I have always felt when I read your comments. Thank you for being here, my friend. Love, Faith There must be a poem in here somewhere. |

Dear Faith, you have given voice to your sensitive perception of the misery that surrounds us and tugs at our heartstrings. You have done a great job, highly significant indeed. With your awareness you have the possibility to awaken people to Love, to awaken their consciousness. And hope resides in this awakening. When we resign we have lost. You have the power to lift this world out of its misery, you together with all those who think like you and, believe me, there are many and the critical mass is growing. We can still save this ship from sinking. Thank you so much for this, dear Faith. Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
