We are all but sores that never heal.

We are all but sores
that never heal,
our skins are just the bandage.

When we pick the sore,
it bleeds.
Criticise the world,
it cuts off your supply.

Six lines, just six lines, that peel away the layers more effectively than any poem I have read in a very long time.

You think about what you write and it shows.

Beccy.

Thank you Beccy for your most generous words, yes I think of John Lennon, martin Luther King, JF Kennedy to name a few all assassinated or murdered for their views. I was thinking of hanging up the towel but maybe not!:):)
