Seeking Redemption Beyond the Horizon

Seeking Redemption Beyond The Horizon


          While my mind ventures to unravel the origins of human enmities
          Craves to stumble upon a most sagacious and diplomatic solution,
          We journey on even when decency is absent without good reason.
          Vestiges of a dream imbedded in pages shred to miniscule pieces.


          Where did the promises that we had sworn to and to abide by go?
          Were eyes blinded by a debris of perverted lies creating paranoia?
          Transgressions orchestrated for their politically motivated agenda,
          Enact crimes against humanity inflating an already distended ego.


          There is no end in sight only the sanctimonious blather of the vile
          Or those egregious behavior of autocrats and anarchists seditious.
          We must beg the Spirit of Justice to lead and champion our cause,
          Liberating hearts from dank dungeons where love remain in exile.

   
          Time is of the essence to end disparities for polarity still envelops,
          Like the devil's claw suppressing every gasp of humanity's breath.
          The indistinct laughter, a dire warning, heralds an ominous threat,
          No escape route or fence to climb, just a row of hangman's ropes.


          Optimism's visions blindfolded, subjugated by menacing shadows,
          Yet slivers of ethereal light penetrates impregnable walls of doom.
          Opportunity transcends hardship driving back the insidious gloom,
          It is within our grasp to ignite joy and douse the flame of sorrows!

Great questions Harry. It's so difficult to predict the outcome. We hope for the best although there should be some intrepid souls out there who are willing to tackle and find solutions to fragile human conditions. Thank you Harry!...ab
