A Word Against A World Going Wrong

How would I have the upper hand 
as all around in chaos got drowned 
How would I stick to a single stand
when upheavals the soul do confound.
My words whiling away an abiding journey 
digging for the nectar of beauty many a well 
long striving to my turmoil hide and bury
keep chill and in my secluded shell dwell.
Shall my ink change shade and scent
from dark black to the colour of blood 
from the aroma of amber to an anger to vent
and pour heavy pain out of my chest flood.
So hard I tried to forge my very shield 
preventing the eye to crime scenes roam
see so filthy hands evil and power wield 
wiping from the world face a whole Home.
A word against a world going wrong 
shall I yield to what I truly can’t handle 
make time, give a chance for a poet’s song
step into the light and leave a bleak bubble.

Ink Empress Date: 10/21/2023 4:00:00 AM “So hard i tried to forge my shield” that line itself speaks volumes to my soul dear besma! Your way with weaving thoughts and feelings is so profound and moving and has a captivating flow throughout. I absolutely love your rhymes! So sublime and creative: a word against a world gone wrong sometimes i wonder if its enough to be the symphonic voice to so many that has for long been served wrong.

Silent One Date: 10/21/2023 3:08:00 AM I see a lot of angst and emotions in your poem.. One that seems to portray an injustice or unfair actions against you.. a poet's song should always be peaceful and spread poetic love, but I guess some do not see it that way... An excellent poem.

The world is heading from dehumanisation to total destruction! Helpless but not hopeless I feel right now in front of the chaos and killing in the world that go beyond the limits of whys.. Absolutely unable to develop another glossary apart from the one of peace and Love.. thank you so much! Stay always blessed.. Best regards.
