The Divergences of Mankind
HUMANITY in multitude resounds with expectation,
for there is so much darkness found in creation.
Mankind seems to be such a troubled nation
as there is an aria of sound with chaos and tribulation.
I see not society as something that can easily heal,
but a COMMUNITY that needs much better appeal.
Some people are so bound to things of material riches,
there is slight mending the wounds with KIND stitches.
As the world turns each day it sometimes switches
to a place of UNBALANCE with complicated glitches.
Too many problems in marriages ending up in divorce,
or those who abuse others by their fist or force.
There is LITTLE regret in murder or acts of unkindness,
so many stuck in a world that only sees with blindness.
Too much ignorance and so much never-mindedness,
but even though there’s turmoil there’s LOVE, nonetheless,
there are those who show unending compassion and sympathy,
people who feed off of beneficial charity and philanthropy.
It is those people who show the world SERVICE and good will,
those who display benevolence with the need to fulfill.
When people are broken and fall deeply downhill,
it’s those who bring them back UP with tenderness and skill.
Yes, there are many who just cannot seem to make a connection,
yet I pray that more of humanity drowns in gentle AFFECTION.
