Despair

the ceiling
over hope
      collapses
            t  r  a  p  p  i  n  g
the faithless
in the heaping rubble
of suffocating
despair.

Love this theme on despair Edward. Your words put us there. Creativity at its best in conveying. Sometimes what is taking place in this world and what we see on the news reflects these choiced words you have written. Well done Edward...
