Life Evades Us

Life evades us.
The truth hides from us.
Love runs from us.
We are the cause for our own demise.
For the anger and the greed to rise,
It was us, and us alone who gave permission,
And put charity and kindness into remission.
I fear we have become too broken to mend
And that our world is soon to end.
Yes, this problem is well known.
It has been no one's fault but our own.
Yet, we are too busy blaming others for the problems we created to even care
About our world that's dying, so quietly and unaware.

short and sweet, i'm lovin' it. it's simple, because what more can you really say? my favorite poetry is that which has a point and sticks to it. It's obvious this piece wasn't forced, that the words just flowed down onto the paper, keyboard, whatever. Bravo.

Attributing responsibility, on an individual basis, is a sign of love and an understanding of the corelation between ourselves and all there is. That relation may well be there but it needs a concerted sense of response by everyone, in their own way. We ourselves may need to bring our focus of attention to what we are doing. A great sense of social concern from the young.

There is so much truth here. Your well thought out lines lift a veil from my face and now I see the world through your eyes.

Thank you for this sensitive piece..."I fear we have become too broken to mend- And that our world is soon to end"- It definitely sheds some light, making us aware of mother nature...Nice Write.

Even though I try so hard to keep a positive outlook on it all, I think your words are true to the slow downfall of the human species. Mother Earth is only going to let us continue so long, before she send out her eviction notice.

Powerful and Reflective Ink!

Wonderful poem, because I think you can interpret it on a very personal level (as I prefer to) or as a larger commentary on society
