Sidney Beck Poet Rispetto

Rispetto For a Friend In Need

RISPETTO   FOR   A   FRIEND   IN    NEED

There are lost souls who are tortured by mem’ry
And those who can never escape and  are  gripped
By   sin-cell-conscience,   a   guilt-filled library
Where volumes of  black  records  are never snipped.
Forgiveness is given by God, but the first 
Longing for break-out comes  from  their own great  thirst 
For justice and freedom and inner mind-peace
Where the dreams and nightmares and torture all cease.



…………………………………………………………………………………………………………


Written    for   Dr. Ram’s     RISPETTO       contest
Chosen rhyme scheme :          ababccdd
