So called, this humanity
of mankind
often leads me to rise of tears
and I cry out,
shouting curses
that only fall   upon
deaf ears

leaning only to hear
the shouts of the rich
held in circles of
political niche,

where justice is for one
but not for all

and from our grace
do they ever fall;

in a world where honor
is replaced by greed
and gain overpowers
the reality     of need.

So called, this humanity
of mankind
often brings rise of tears
and I cry
"please God, compassion...
let all men find...."




The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Not only do you say this well, but, sadly, it seems to get worse. (Or maybe we just know more about such today.)  Well written.  Ken

Thank you for this, dear Donna.

It is indeed high time to awaken to Love. The injustices in our world are unbearable.

Powerful write.

Love, Margherita

Donna,
And a wonderful prayer it is... Always you show such a good heart. Nice write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
