The worst injustice ever seen-- destruction of a young man's dream... Embryonic, child, he clings... Seeking safety, shelter being, looking without ever seeing. Withered vine, anguished child, he clings... Lost in madness cloaked in sadness-- he is exactly as he seems. Without a word, he will be heard-- such sorrow in a madman's screams. |

This is excellent ...but I'm sorry to say that I'm afraid to hazard a guess to the inspiration of this poem perhaps you've visited an asylum of the ill or perhaps you're a teacher ...? Rex |

My signicant other would say that I teach in an asylum of the ill...but no, it's okay to ask, this is a memorial to my dear friend Kenny, and I fear we all failed him miserably. |

Serenity- WOW ! What powerful, and yet helpless words. A statement of truth made when the dreams of some are squelched. Sometimes the society needs a reminder of the significance of a man's dreams that are not brought to fruition ... this does that. A wonderful piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

So sad, and so strong! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

You did the best you could. Some people cannot be saved. I know. Thankfully, God can, and does, I believe. We just won't see it, for those we love, while we are here on earth. We just have to wait, and have faith. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
