Starless Skies

To quell the anger of the earth's beating heart
Spiritually parched and bleeding torn, scars;
Yet still haunting visions of people apart
Rendering resplendent sights, skies with no stars.
The courageous lions roar hoping to mold
Opposites to magnetic attraction, bold;
Because they both become the same old pawns
Drawn in and diluted, welcomed as hell yawns.

"Accept the things I cannot change"

Hi, Tim. My big congratulations on your first place in Nette's contest, " Serenity. " I have enjoyed reading your Rispetto. You show a great insight...making you aware of the Earth's beating heart suppressed by sorrow, misery and people's division. I wish you success in your writing endeavors. Peace and Love. Andrew.

I think this is the hardest things for most people to do. Accepting the things we cannot change. Very dramatic poem that speaks of this well. Best of luck in the contest.
