Sometimes I feel like "Henry Bemis"
of The Twilight Zone,
standing in the rubble
of a ruined world...
alone.
Finally having enough time at last
to overcome a restrictive past
only to find that...
"The best laid schemes o' mice and men
often go awry."
Leaving me to cry,
"It's not fair.
It's not fair at all."

It isn't fair at all, is it Ida, but one thing
that's for sure, we are all in this together! Always
Great poetry from you, my friend. E

Nothing in this strange, muddled world is fair, the better people understand that the better off they will be.

Thank you, Edna, Jerry and JL. I wrote this a while back when things weren't going very well. Sometimes you just need to be a crybaby and vent. Relieve some of the pressure, and then you pick up the pieces and go on.

Enjoyed your vent, Ida, but enjoyed even more the fact that it was cathartic.  WHAT would we do without poetry?

I love the flow of this poem. The words simply flow off the tongue like melting ice-cream. No jarring, stumbling or forcing of words to fit in. As for the content, it's open and honest, a subject of realism giving an insight into personal thoughts and feelings. To sum up, a really, really good poem in my opinion. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
