Orphaned

I.
I
My,my
ego's cry-
neglected,long lost
family..duties..left to die,
fixated on symptoms society still wonders why !

Sometimes it is hard to concentrate on anything but the symptoms of our confounding society. Again, so much said in so few words. Your poem takes my breath away! Love, Carolyn
