In a World of Beauty, Why am I Uneasy

   I step outside, a world of beauty greets me
     landscaped gardens, lush leaves on each tree
  
   Yet my stomach feels so queasy
     a vague sense of doom leaves me uneasy...   

   Sans freedom of speech, life is hell
     afraid to break a single eggshell

I’m empowered by the fact that my words may not be heard but thankfully God’s word will guide. I have nothing to fear and the meek and wise will only lend ear.

Yes, uneasy, but I look up, that’s where my help comes from. Well done, dear poet!

Hi Gershon, I know exactly what you mean. I have hesitated to speak out at times, but forged ahead anyway with poems from my heart. On blogs I tend to be more cautious because some people on them are wackos, then again, there are some of those here on the Soup. One used to be able to speak out in America, not anymore. Shalom u'vrakha :)

Precisely. We certainly are 'walking on eggshells.' :) Gershon
