Listening to every heart

Commonalities  


Wayward, skyward be, the common mass, the lad and lass
Populace seen with little, but yea, extremes they do so clash
But of this, the general public, be I but one of they
And know the proletariat indeed shall have his say

For great counsel, this, the working class shall give
For, most often asked, is how to live, and yet let live?
Plebian, these citizenry might oh so very well be…
But there be music in grassy root… If one could just but see…

They walk a gentle sphere, these multitudes that roam
They know well then, where there is hearth, and therein, their home
They close their rank and file, to care for one on one
They only hope tomorrow will yet again bring sun

These people, this humanity, this, the working classes
They oft look in mirrored glass at their many masses

Hey, Hey, sociology and poetry combined. I guess this is a case of art imitating life.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

BRAVO!!! Oh Karilea, I know just how you feel, I feel sometimes the working class is treated like plebeians sometimes and deserve much more respect from those they work for in helping bring new innovations and hope to the world! (kiss on cheek) So very well said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And in a sonnet too!

You acheived a certain voice in this, that I thought lent itself to the sonnet form very nicely! I'll be looking at this one again.

enjoyed much.

Yep,  what Kethry said, especially. Well done!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
