Ecomium

ENCOMIUM Out of mouths of men comes stream of impunity Its devastating inhumane effect lasting beyond eternity Ripping apart the wellspring of joy to humanity Profound animosity hiding behind expressed equanimity Creating an image of a society devoid of solidarity Heads devoid of integrity and empathy have arrived apex leadership Between the ruler and the ruled, is there any relationship? Unhealthy state of intellectual curiosity has brought untold poverty Incessant making of policy without scrutiny O! when shall I overcome this unprecedented hardship? I long for change Inevitability of change has brought terror My body,My Soul and My Spirit has been challenge Closing my eyes,I see,I smell, I feel horror Unbreakable chains, Irresistible bondage I run to the youths Their ways are inexplicably vicious I run to the naive kids,the future youths Knowingly,am bitten,now am undoubtedly venomous This is nothing but the naked truth O Fate Thou has seriously dealt with me Leaving me in shambles, I thank thee I see my future now As I look on the bright side to the I bow

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Victor, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly, poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
