A Sonnet: The Human Condition 2015

Oh what a dreadful time of which we live!
Laden with foxes which pose as a sheep
Fervently searching for those who will give.
If elders there were, surely they would weep.

Distractions of many leave no notice
To those they leave without a single word.
“Broken” written on their hearts, life’s novice,
Take heed to a future time that’s unheard.

Morning, day, night – the clock spinning broken.
One might hurry so those lives won’t be spent,
In a glimpse of time which goes unspoken.
Let us borrow the time to make amends.

Glad are those whose lives are fulfilled in use,
But others refuge themselves in a noose.

Compassion

Daggers, I swear, continuously plunge at my heart!

Left to withstand a day of celebration of one who is repentant of my existence.

A blind eye has been dealt to the consideration of my emotions.

Am I to turn a blind eye too?

The door which once was open slapped me as it shut on my face.

Compassion no longer seems to exist.

Not in me,

Not in others;

Only selfishness.

Can it be?

What was once my safe haven has now become my pool of sorrow.

A desire reminiscent of what cannot be had; such an unfillable void.

Inconsideration of self for the betterment of others has only proved one thing..

It elongates the love, pain, and compassion until the time of abandonment is ripe.

I hope I am wrong.
