Festering Wound

When the world awaits a sense of guidance, and finds none, there's a festering wound. When countries grow weary for lack of leadership, there's a festering wound longing for attention. A wound festers where pain defies even the cure. When politicians create agendas offering neither solution nor opposition to downward spirals, there's a festering wound. And wounds will fester where there is fear and lack of resolve. When there are conflicts, pride, and no resolutions, there's a festering wound inviting infection and death. Wounds fester where ignorance becomes crown king. A festering wound leads to disease, conflict, war, and chaos. And finally, when the religious community is indifferent and refuses to pray or repent, there's a festering wound. 031122PSCtest, 'Pick-A-Title, Vol 29-', Edward Ibeh Title chosen: Festering Wound. 3P

A very different take on the contest theme. I believe the repetition works very well in highlighting the intensity of the situations
