The World Never

The world never looked,

So the world never saw

The dismal disorder

Of natural law.

The world never listened,

So the world never heard

The screeches of anguish

Behind ev’ry word.

The world never touched,

So the world never felt 

The tide in the sandbox

As memories melt.

The world never lived,

So the world never loved,

Their souls turning sallow,

Their hearts getting shoved.

This is bloody brilliant if you ask me and well presented. The rep at the beginning of each line packs a punch like a pro boxer. Great job on this. I enjoyed every word. F.

There is so much that we don't think about, actions we don't take, feelings we never felt, isn't that the truth of our world today? Without opening our minds, learning to feel and understand what is truly happening, only then will we understand what we could not see and know before. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading your poem!
