Jailer

there are links in chains
that hold the world together
but who holds the key

Another winner, Harry! You ask a thought provoking question that leads the reader to ponder possibilities. Be well. Brian

Just a few, a very few hole this key, some say they are in one cult, some say it is just a brotherhood, others say it is just a myth, but who knows? We come into the world, we make do of what we can do, then pass on to leave others to walk along and leave their foot prints. What a beautiful write.

I agree with Sara. Sometimes corrupt leaders think they have the key. A loving God is the answer, though! A wonderful poem, Harry.

Harry right now Satan thinks he does but praise be to God we know who holds the key. I really like your thoughts penned. Sara

Very interesting thoughts here, Harry... a riddle, perchance. “holding the world together” sounds positive, but your title makes one thing of prison. Maybe we all hold the key .... but we are afraid of breaking free because it’s all we’ve ever known. Imprisoned perhaps... but happily so, in our own ignorance.

well, I guess we could say WE hold the key if we would but learn how to all get together and USE it to elect good fellows and have a peaceful society. Awesome thoughtful senryu, Harry (sadly I never see many good politicians to vote for)
