Grain of Sand

I don't fully know what is happening
The evidence surrounds us everywhere
But it is ignored, not seen, with blinders
People are repeating rhetoric, lies, daily
Evil consumes living, death is minimized
Selfishness reaches a peak beyond belief
Research will teach you about embedded toxins
Microscope findings show answers needed
Math and numbers have never been so important
This is not the world I know with twisted reports
People are not behaving rationally, losing character
I help all I can, giving tips to those who listen
I sort through pages of facts, as I always do
But, the treacherous path of watching so many, 
Miss such dangerous acts perpetrated daily
While walking into traps that change or take lives,
Watching unnecessary suffering and torture...
Is truly unbearable and I am only a grain of sand
                      Blowing in the wind

M. L. Kiser January 11, 2022 at 4:11 PM So sad that so many are falling for those lies, rather than using their own intellect to find the truth. Well penned of our times. Heidi Sands January 11, 2022 at 4:29 PM It is dreadfully sad M.L. and bothers me a lot. Thank you for your kind and understanding feedback. I hope you have a nice evening :)

Bj Legros Kelley December 29, 2021 at 2:12 PM This is not a world that any of us can quite recognize. I am clinging to hope in my faith in God, but there is no faith in the powers that I once trusted in on this sphere anymore. This was a revealing poem of what these crazy days have many of us feeling! Heidi Sands December 29, 2021 at 2:28 PM I agree BJ. Thank you for your input. The truth can be really hard carry, but we must stay with truth . Many are losing trust in those we once trusted in charge of things I hope all is well and you have a Happy New Year.

Quoth Theraven December 27, 2021 at 5:01 PM Heidi, Very informative in this one grain. Life's moving fast stuck on a single track, like a runaway train. All you can do is try and try again. Happy New Year's wishes to you. -Richard Quoth Theraven December 27, 2021 at 8:33 PM Heidi, Bring your mountain's songs, I'll always listen for them. -Richard Heidi Sands December 27, 2021 at 6:35 PM Yes. All we can do is try and try again. Thank you Richard. I hope you have a Happy New Year :)

Rico Leffanta December 27, 2021 at 10:46 AM The advantage of being a grain of sand is that you are constantly gaining a new perspective . . . . . Heidi Sands December 27, 2021 at 3:02 PM Good positive point Rico! Thank you for your input. I hope you are doing well and having a nice holiday season :)

Tom Cunningham December 27, 2021 at 3:21 AM It's frightening what's happening everywhere with cctv and eavesdropping in on communications. To prevent crime they say, yeah right. Hope you had a lovely Christmas Heidi and happy new year. Tom Heidi Sands December 27, 2021 at 2:59 PM Yes, difficult and strange times Tom. I also hope you had a nice Christmas. Mine was nice. Thank you :)
