in the pouring rain

Tiny children scream out
Pain engulfs them
Wait....
Because that’s what they do
They hurt, we take it
It’s in their blood
Not mine, or yours
Theirs....
All colors blend together
Like the painting on my wall
Now it’s torn
Does this remind you?
lash out hatred
looks upon the faces
they are scared
you were wrong
soon be gone.......
hands shake to the moon
as the blood pours out
and we all survive on one
this is who we are.....
as meant to be
our character white

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

This one struck an eerie chord with me.  I hope it gets into the book.

I like it.. one comment though, at the end you write
"this is who were are.....
as ment to be"

Is that a typo? meant and we?
Just wondering, because if it is, it will go into the book if you don't change it.

This is some great stuff, Ri... your style is nicely demonstrated here, and your underlying message, well, I'm going to read this through a few more times before coming to a conclusion.  I'd rather talk to you about it than influence anyone else's reading with my own interpretation, so I'll just say nicely done.

And while I don't think this is your best poem, not by a long shot, I still consider it good enough to appear in Reflections.  I'm voting.

(sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Riley, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
