The Human Shame

Post by mtmynd » June 13th, 2020, 2:54 pm

Is it not "fear" nor "fear itself" that looms
in the darkness of our once bright future
judging us as a gift once given but now,
...now it closes the gift box for the burial

"Here lies humanity, failed to live up...
live up to their hopes and expectations.
"

The shame we've brought to the beauty
we once smugly called "LIFE”…

so much decay
so very much to rectify
dark daze


good poem, the brevity works well
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
