Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Consumed

In times as these
and at our age
as we tread gently
towards the twilight

I’m always surprised
we’re not all obsessed
with cleaning up our act

trying our best
to make amends
instead of being
consumed
by greed
and
pettiness

Caren Krutsinger March 7, 2019 at 5:36 AM "making amends" - wouldn't that be the mature thing to do? Some just would not want to do something like that which might HELP them conquer the bridge to heaven and make it easier to cross over. Line Gauthier March 7, 2019 at 9:06 AM I think these people really believe there is nothing bigger than themselves... inconceivable to the rest of us.

Laura Leiser March 6, 2019 at 9:56 PM Wise words, Line. I like your insight here. :) Line Gauthier March 6, 2019 at 10:03 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Laura.
