Hold On To Your Humanity

Hold on to your Humanity 


Living in such trying times in all these confusing events
Unsure of what is true, and what our beliefs represents
Bewildered by what we hear and what we see
Perplexed by catastrophic consequences that be

Aware of the struggles of those trying to stay alive
Wondering how we, the human race can survive 
Heartbroken by the strife that some must undergo 
Baffled by the enlightenment we will never know

Confused by misinformation, leading to such lies
Unsettling way of what these untruths truly implies
As we lose our ability to see these tragedies unfold
We close our eyes to the injustice having a stranglehold 

When the denial of choices lead to such a calamity 
When the fabric of life is somehow lost within vanity 
When you shed a tear to all of this confusing insanity 
When you know it’s time to hold on to your humanity

Hello, Charlie Baker - your poetry is wonderful with loads of imagery, that message is loud and clear - I like "Baffled by the enlightenment we will never know" Good Luck - stay safe too! Perry C.
