Poem Title:
Poem
Whatever happened to Jansports and Tevas -By the fire side and courage the cowardly dog The unending episodes of the famous five -And ice pellets we used to pick In the rains . Whatever happened to good deeds, and where did all the good people go ? A minute for the woman who sighed for a jiffy, -died within negligence on a solemn night Whatever happened to the garden city and the verdant greens .. Whatever happened to humanity and empathy .. Whatever happened to Plantas and Refresh .. Whatever happened to High morals and modesty.. Whatever happened to equal opportunities , and all the square pegs that didn’t fit the round holes? What happens to the misfits and odd souls ? -Their dreams ,ideas and innuendos . What happens to the ones low on self esteem and self worth? Or there’s not enough second chances . Or maybe they weren’t good enough in recovering from their mishaps . Or perhaps people don’t really care that much . Or perhaps we embraced narcissism in the name of self love . Whatever happened to tolerance and equality , and everything good we preached? What happens to all the junk and the tears when they reach the sea ? How about ghosts hovering around on the Mediterranean and the decomposing bodies on the Sahara ? What happens to the faces that were murdered even before they took suicide ? What happens to the pleas from Aleppo and the fading unheard echoes from Nubia Whatever happened to love for all hatred for none Whatever happened to freedom and justice Whatever happened to achieving unity and solidarity Whatsoever happened maintaining world peace and fostering cooperation So when will your sympathy and empathy finally merge and lend a helping hand to ones on the verge ? So when will the tides turn And the boundaries finally fortified From imposters and self serving narcissist ? When will the lending ears hear our solemn withering plight ? -And the blind pundits “waste no time in sterile litanies and nauseating mimicry.” I guess they never have I guess they never will Damn!
