Stubborn Fools and Lack of Change

Some People in this world,
Don't ever seem to change.
Tears and blood run down our cheeks,
We're Still a target range.
We all try to negotiate,
But peoples minds are stuck.
Stuck on thereselves not other souls,
We all are out of luck.
As hearts begin to break,
And hope is torn to shreds,
We wish and pray they'd understand,
but those chances are dead.
Why are they so selfish,
Drowning in their pride.
So oblivious to those,
Alive and who have died.
They're never gonna stop,
I don't knkow why we try.
We'll give up hope as our minds break,
We're in this all alone.

Cheslsea, to answer your question, I tried sending you Soup Mail but apparently you haven't chosen that option (look in The Member Area and choose.. A Monoku is a one line poem consisting of 17 syllables.. no capitalization for the first word in the sentence, no punctuation except for a --- or .... to show the break (Go to Poetry Forms and click "M" scroll down to Monoku and click on the link examples of Monoku to see more. I hope this helps Chelsea. Have a good day!Love, audrey

I feel the disappointment in this write, Chelsea and I'm sure very many have felt this way too, but never give up, I believe that we're not alone because God does not lie..He said that He would never leave us nor forsake us! He's in control. We have free will offered to us..the choice is now ours to remain free or forever enslaved. God bles you this holy season and always. Love, Audrey
