Sonnet To Society 2

With each step that ferments in the aeons,
the fruits of a hard day’s work will converge,
on our awesome past written in rainbow crayons,
as past hurt and love, melt, galvanise and merge,
each step, each one of us, fruit, tree of life,
unbeknown to the masses, heroes fingers in dirt,
achievement in time, house, children, wife,
unhappy souls, trudge in noose and shirt,
praise that hero, only causes the world pain,
condemn those who believe in the sublime,
individual killed, collective soul slain,
admire human mortality, exist only in time,
each droplet of water, makes up ocean and river,
where individuality and morality die. Shiver.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
