Letter to the World

Dear World, why do you make me bleed?

Feelings of resent and hate fuel every thought

Al queda and Isis cause less terror

why do you give me feelings without purpose?

You say to be strong but provide me with no weapon.

 

Dear world, why do you make me scream?

The sorrow and pain but still no hope 

the very existence of life is a damning memory

you cage me everyday, please end my misery

Dear world, I only find solace in knowing

my freedom lies

with the ceasing of time.

Rolando,

An interesting poem, almost a cry from the heart of frustration and vexation. I am sure you are not alone with these feelings but your poem articulates them well. "you cage me everyday" and "you provide me with no weapon" are particularly poignant.

I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you for this

Keith
