-I Am Sorry

I am sorry to the ones
Who never had a chance
No love nor opportunities
Due to circumstance

I am sorry to the unheard
The unseen, the forsaken
The forgotten, the disregarded
The ones from which life has only taken
 
I am sorry to the neglected
The mistreated, the ostracised 
The abandoned, the rejected
Where love and nurture were never prioritised

I am sorry to the lost and lonely
The ones in turmoil and pain
The sufferers, the fearful
The ones with who sorrow reigns

I am sorry for all the bleakness and helplessness
The unfairness, hurt, cruelty that many endure and face
“It is never right nor fair”
Life can be an unkind and unjust place

From my heart …..I am truly sorry!

It’s a testament to your good nature that you feel this way, Deb. So many people never think about the suffering of others, and there is so much of it out there. Beautifully expressed…
