DM Babbit Poet Blank verse

Missing Off the Grid

At some point on the edge of this human trial
  of being frustrated, angry and tired
I stopped posting for awhile, 
  the exposes of this burning world on fire.

Did you notice I was gone
 when so many others sang their songs?
Sitting back, stepping away from the torrent
 observations on the earth left me depressively abhorrent.

How did we get to here
 with lives are so lost upon this revolving sphere?

History will judge us by what occurs these days
 wonder how the truth will be displayed
by the writers who emote
 the words and actions spoke.

The times will come again
 when the populace will surely take a stand
resuming and reigniting the moral gland
 that lies deeply embedded within man.

CayCay Godwin July 1, 2018 at 8:33 PM When missing off the grid, you may actually find yourself. Honestly, if you've been gone I did not notice because I've been free falling thru life myself for many months - it's been way too long since I've read others. I reacted to your feelings and thoughts as by your pen wrapped, the delivery and emotion were palatable. I no longer care how history lies about me just my reception spiritually (someone is changing history as I type.) A thought provoker! All the best ... CayCay
