The Pier

imagine being part of something that’s making history

many would say what is happening is a mystery

cannot ignore pain, suffering in the world today

human life shunned by the mindless games they play

global pandemics, conspiracy theories, vulnerable going insane

innocent people killed in countries , no choice but to remain

heart fills with sadness, madness unfolds, what else to say

spawned misinformation spreading dangerous lies, someone will have to pay

officials turn a blind eye , people sacrificed, left to die

a dystopian existence, is what is happening real, trying hard not to cry?

guilt creeps in for this moment, selfishly locked away in one’s own mind

taken to a far away place of sheer bliss away from a world so unkind

seamless skies, mountains high, endless seas flows, feelings care free

taking time out , where there’s nobody around to see

long pier walks with gratitude, thanks, time to readjust

an equanimity allowing to take control with a need and a trust

unselfish thoughts reign where footsteps cannot be erased

remembering the lives lost, that can never be replaced

This is very powerful here. As I read I can feel the passion and pain through your words here. The senseless things those of the past have experienced to the things we see in the present have us as a whole people entirely thinking will this ever end ; will our voices that speak of such things be heard? People tend to say often that this is a crazy world, but I say let’s not put blame on the world but rather stop and take a look at those who are walking around in this world. The people in this world who want things to go a certain way under their agenda a chaotic agenda. You have spoken a lot here and as always keep writing and shine bright! It’s good to see you’re still on my friend
