Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

We are lost

We are lost

 

We are free falling into a darkened chaos

some try to point the way but to where

We have been lied to, misguided and misled

humanity is the victim of its imminent destruction

 

In our folly we repeat history, hold fast to old beliefs

non of this is of any consequence when the abyss lures

A culture of blaming and complaining is rife

no one in all honesty has the answers

 

We must begin afresh to develop a new world view

the past must be discarded for eternity

Nations, powers, politicians and religions dictate their way

they have all been found wanting

 

We are free falling and few can see it

the time has come for all humanity to stand together

Let no force separate this new endeavour

because we are free falling and time is running out

Po,

Thank you for your comment. I was inspired to write this poem after reading Ben Okri's latest book which is to be highly recommended to all.

Thanks

Keith
