Evil Dwells

Evil Dwells

A Poem by Willard Wells
"

Sad World

"

Feelings of the cold

from around our world.

Death chasing

after lives

that have meaning and hope.


No concern or thoughts

for the lives

that are taken

too soon,

done with a cold heart.


Regret and sorrow

is not felt

as only the

cold heart of

evil dwells here.


As the pain

of the death

and destruction is felt,

evil throws a party

to celebrate death.

Isn't the world turning that way Willard when you see someone bashed by a gang but no one helps but walks on. That song by Joel is so true only the good die young. What gets me is jail folk get a roof over their heads three meals a day , free medical paid by the taxpayer and the old or homeless who are good people but have had bad luck are forgotten deserve more. who says crime doesn't pay???? A good write Willard

Your words are true. Thank you for your time and comments on my work.
There are a lot of people who have a cold heart nowadays. It's devastating when you see the news, what happens and the reactions about it are numb, indifferent. Have we lost our humanity and all those feelings that make us a human being, I wonder sometimes if we aren't already lost. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Willard. :) Rudi
