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.
