The heavily laden sky
hanging like a shroud over your head
a dense blanket of deep shame
and guilty promises
a teeming downpour of tears
drowning out the screams
of tormented children
abandoned and destitute
cruelly denied a loving spirit
by the mean minded heavens
to scream, to dream, to summon
a better life than the one
randomly placed before you.
Thank you, Taylor. We will get there. ?
A thought provoking piece Jon. Made me feel uncomfortable and ashamed of the inhumanity of mankind which is rampant. Our lack of action is appalling, but of course we cannot change anything if we do not unite, we are so helpless. So small and insignificant as individuals. X
Thanks, Big Sal

Wow Jon, this is profound and thought provoking. A great closing "a better life than the one randomly placed before you." Bravo!
