By Dead of Night

...in a world of over 7 billion inhabitants...sisters and brothers manage to stay away from each other...in matters of the heart, love, and family...thus the darkness, and evil fill in the gaps... By Dead of Night By the wind of day and the dead of night The darkness descends within shadows sight With hell bound hurts and impetuous ice Submersible souls with a pandemonius price Can you see the blind man...starring at his grave Can you see the shackled man...freed as a slave The abandoned woman...crying in her cave The neglected children...that no one wants to save Sempiternal storms with rambunctious rage Capturing sacrificial souls in a cadaveric cage Life eternal hanging on by a sepulchral string Hibernating humanity with a crucifix cling Shelter the coldest ones...for they knock at your door Feed the hungered ones...for they always ask for more Quench the thirsted ones...bring their lips to the shore Love the unloved...and see their hearts begin to soar. ...let's make a change July.08.2017 Far Away - Contest Sponsored by: Nayda Ivette Negron

An emotional write dear WW. Your last four lines offers realiy sound advice. And in following it we as human beings should be able to see some of that change we long to see. This is a powerful write...Maria
