A World Gone Awry

StormyDay

 

All around me

All very suddenly

All I see

Are lives crumbling

Souls tumbling

Into empty despair

 

Weeping with the rain

Trying to keep sane

To soap away the pain

Crying out in vain

Such is the struggle

 

Watch them fall

Hear them call

For a single hope

A way to cope

With all their sorrows

 

Suffering to each and every day

Searching for another way

Yet for all they say

All the demons kept at bay

All the debts left to pay

I find I'm still okay

  • Comment from author about the poem: In a sea of suffering peoples, why are some spared the grief and pain of the others? It doesn't seem just. ..Like a rainbow in the midst of a storm, caught between lightning and thunder, but altogether above, beyond, outside of it..

    The perpetual question....you captured it nicely in your concluding line, and your explanation made it more understandable. It is rather difficult to answer, to assess. On the one hand, if we look at the Bible, it looks like the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer, and yet some wicked suffer too....Your concluding line seems rather to indicate the speaker has a solace, a refuge above the turmoil, rather like the Lord says, in this world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world...peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you,....let not your heart be troubled, neither let it not be afraid...or maybe not? Excellent...I enjoyed this.
