Broken Souls

Battered by the harshness of life Blindsided by Fate Abandoned by their gods These world-weary tattered souls living on misguided beliefs and shallow ideals, They are unable to break free from the shackles of tolerance and indifference. Who’ll mend their ways? Neglected by their fellowmen Forgotten by unforgiving time… Oh, are these the children of a Lesser God? ~Contest: Kintsugi - Broken Poetry Sponsor: Craig Cornish.

Excellent write Abdul. There are millions of people around the world who live in cities. They all are lonely together. Someone once said "Loneliness is a prison that can be opened only from the inside".
