What Life Means To Me

What life means to me Just look around and see It sure isn't just about existing For many don't have such This saddening view, viewing Typical mans atrocity Seeing saddening limpless bodies Children, Grandchildren of you and I It beggars belief of what life means Only with tear ducts shall we cry Now I roll my eyes in disgust Paedophilia in our society Really, what does life mean to us all When perversion is so often freed This leads me to murderous persons Especially the ones declared free Barbaric when we eventually view Us, Chimpanzees gracing their trees For I needn't go on What life means to me that I breathe, I'm alive, for such I see .

My friend, we are in a time that darkness spreads out and so deeply. That sadly it is becoming accepted as normal and in some cases even applauded. Super 7 on this poem, we need far more poets with courage that speak out ,up and with convictions in what is truly right.

What I view today in society abhors me greatly Robert. As each generation passes it appears to become more infested with lack of manners and appreciation. Humble apologies for my late reply. Smiles always, James :) :)

Huge James, sad that nowadays it seems the value of life to some is getting cheaper and cheaper that for some it so easy for them to take it not for a good cause but more so because of cravings for power.... :( thought provoking poem that challenges each one of us to look closer to life... hugs...~Olive Eloisa

The world through today's eyes become very different as the generations proceed. The greed is becoming stronger whilst life becomes cheaper and cheaper. I pray those on their pedestals look down with some humanity and start to share their wealth. Will it happen, lets hope so for the sake of the world, for one day 'The Meek shall inherit the Earth' ~ hugs ~ little one~~so love you gracing my poetry pages, kisses aplenty ;-) xx Huge One xx
