Missing Applauding blank charm of decorated faces life’s sensationistic verdict Magnetism knocks on the door of implications Atrocities, grow sentimental permits Sobering, we move from this image to that intended satire, dreams for paychecks Sparkling reactions upon skips and grins Jump starting belief, afraid to disagree Dumb grey stone walls, heaving foul Impertinence throwing political parties Even night is hysterical with eyes closed tight In decay, the evening news turns humans Uglier then any beast Multi-colored dyes turn ash to truth Whispering forgotten diseases while The hands of time, run backwards Down some paradoxical stairs Smothered by wolves of ravenous thunder Pathless dreams, gushing useless wings Where the dead stir the tides I’ve wondered When will we stop those whirl winds Within silent depths of poverty No matter what our bank statements speak A town void of atmosphere Strangles its people secretively One by one…. |

quote: ~ "When" indeed. Such sad truths you have written ~ and so eloquently. BTW is this my imagination, or is this your first venture into a colored font? The pink is very effective in showing emotion and caring for the "Missing".  Linda |

Good Morning Linda thanks for reading and commenting...actually, the font was a mistake, in a hurry this morning, still in a coma...hehe thought it might be difficult to read...so, I'm trying to reach an admin to see if I can change it to black? But, you've made a good point...what the pink represents.... Linda, have a great day and weekend |

Lee, yes, the pink was a bit difficult to read but I just highlighted it which turned the font to a contrasting white on a navy background.  Linda |

This was another one of the ones I had to read more than once to fully absorb. But it was worth it. I believe you really have a strong talent. adagio |
