Cycles

sorenbarrett

War, disease, accident, poverty, crime all measured in earthly time
Drugs, abuse, hate and pain all fall in perpetual rain
Broken, torn, shattered, burned lessons too slowly learned
Buried in rot covered in filth to with the rain grow anew when tilth

    This is quite a list of the darker objects that exist in life and the human condition. It has a powerful effect on the reader.But in all the filth is a re-birth which is Natures way.Excellent insight mi amigo

      A sense of out any filth, pain, hurt, destruction there will be an opportunity to regrow and regenerate, that not all hope is lost in the darkness, enjoyed the read

          And sometimes it also seems like a journey in a spin cycle. 🕊️🙏🏻

            Indeed the water may remove some of the dirt not stains and the spin cycle takes away the water but a second rinse is coming. Thanks Cryptic for the read and comment it is appreciated

                • Mottakeenur Rehman

                  Your words paint a haunting cycle of suffering and resilience—powerful and raw. A stark reminder of life's relentless storms and the slow growth that follows.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Soren…this one hits with that heavy, grim rhythm—like boots trudging through the mud of it all. But the last line...that cracked it wide open for me. Rain into tilth—you always know where to plant the hope, even if it comes caked in ash. A well written poem, my friend. 🌹👏

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thank you Tristan your words of encouragement always lift the spirit and inspire further writing. They are most appreciated

                        • Tristan Robert Lange

                          You are most welcome, Soren!

                        • Tony Grannell

                          The never ending vices and crimes of man whilst sowing the seeds of wrath in filth for the next generation, as with all previous generations. A good and true kick in the stomach poem, to the point with deft pronouncements of raw honesty. Excellent.

                          All the best,
                          Tony.

                            Tony you saw right through this one, a little too transparent I guess. I deeply appreciate your reads and comments almost as much as your poems.
