The Society We Live In

Who will listen to my cry? I shout everyday, as time just goes by. Our loving nation, has become more of a loathing nation. The caring nation, is now more of an abandoning nation. Am sick and tired! But never tired to fight for our right as a nation. Helpless children, born by street children. No one cares, no one would ever care. They call it man eat man society, The society we work hard to bring about equality, The society that forgets the most important is gender equity. The society we work hard to bring about justice and end impunity. The society where no one cares why you work hard. Soon we shall fall deep into the abyss. The abyss of no return, The abyss where you wish you did right, The abyss where society would be happy to see you in. The abyss where not even a shooting star and a wish, could bring you back. This is my cry for the right, My cry for more equity and better equality. But my cry for everything to always be right.

John G.,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
