Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Slow Pulse

The pulse stops beating,
Slowly at first
The heart starts weeping
For it has lost its thirst

For life, as it is today
The World has gone mad
And many people
Have lost the will to stay

In a world full of trouble and pain
Mainly caused by man
What did we have to gain
I don't think this was God's plan

With so many in the World,
We will never get perfect peace,
Is it too much to expect?
For HUMAN BEINGS to release

Their emotions
And bottle up their grief,
Because they think there's nothing
To give their hearts and souls relief.

The pulse of life slows down,
When all goes to pot
Warmongers have gone crazy
And completely lost the plot,

What they don't seem to realise
Or if they do, they do not care,
There is a strong possibility
Our world will not exist out there.

Gershon Wolf March 13, 2023 at 7:16 PM Do you ever feel as if you are removed from today's world, just hovering on the periphery? That's how I feel... Moving on, gw Gershon Wolf March 14, 2023 at 7:50 PM Thanks for the pep talk, Coach! Shirley Hawkins March 13, 2023 at 8:28 PM I don't understand today's world, Gershon So much has changed, not all for the better. I doubt my private thoughts as, like many other things, I don't know if I can trust them. I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. I don't feel I am part of todays world, maybe a very sad observer. Keep your chin up, Gershon and put on some Nat King Cole music. I will do the same. Blessings, Shirley
