Notes About The Poem

" WHISPERING AND ROARING " MY PHOTO, ©

Don'T Just Whisper

1.
WHAT?

Are we going to enter the ill-fated whirlpool of
Unintelligible madness, and let calamitous folly,
Anchor its obscure ships of destruction in our
Harmonious hearts?

Or

Are we going to follow the discerning star of
Glowing reason and allow lustrous wisdom
Institute its simmering dominion in our
Tormented minds?

2.
Are we going to constantly give fortified shelter to
Detrimental fears and permit fatal pessimism
Establish its depressing presence,                                                             
In our serene lives?

Or

Are we going to evict, detrimental dread, from our
Excruciating consciousness and relinquish vivifying
Optimism to enact its invigorating message,
All over our agonizing planet?

3.
Are we going to stand, apathetically still in front of
Virtue’s constant devastation and grant mean vice,
Permission to grow  its abominable fruit of injustice
In our loving society?

Or

Are we going to become vigorously implicated in
Rectitude’s resurrection by putting up a gallant fight for
The condemnation of dreary crime,
In our fearful world?

4.
Are we going to let fading belief steadily degenerate our
Blazing ethics and permit sinister infamy, build its
Damnable empire of anarchy, in our
Mystic souls?

Or

Are we going to work, with ever-expanding zeal to
Revive glittering morality by sanctioning compassion and
Regenerating empathy and bringing harmony in
Our damned society?

5.
Are we going to sacrifice illustrious truth on the
Wicked altar of self-interest and endure venomous lie
Undisturbed to flourish in the midst of our
Community? 
  
Or

Are we going to courageously strive against the
Catastrophic falsehood by allowing rapturous
Veracity thrive and blossom within
Ourselves?

6.
Are we going to remain helpless prey of
Mischievous hatred and grand carnivorous war the
Permit to destroy and devour life on
Eternal earth?

Or

Are we going to transform ourselves to
Charitable giants and give birth to everlasting peace and
To ever-enduring love for every fellow
Living being?

7.
If your choice is not the former but the latter, my 
Loving friend,

Then

Do not just whisper but ROAR!

Shirley Hawkins December 18, 2020 at 1:26 AM Wow, I wish I could have penned this. It expresses all that I and I am sure many others feel about the events that brought about this dreadful state of affairs world wide. It sadly has made me look at the human race in a different light which makes me feel unhappy. I think as bad as it is, it may be a blessing in disguise to teach us all what is right or wrong and to get our priorities right... Thank you, Demetrious your words and opinion were greatly appreciated and I agreed with them wholeheartedly . God Bless you and your family and keep you in good health.....
