Gary Dmun Poet Dramatic Verse

To Be Human Again

A world in disarray 
Filled with un-truth
Creating hate filled fear

No one can walk down streets
Without having fingers pointing 
No one can wear a thing
Without offending another 

How does a country so strong
Have so many 
Who don't believe in a single thing
It - we - stand for?

Listening to facts, 
not what we believe.
Not taking others actions
So personally. 

So quickly we erupt
So little do we listen
Offended by intelligence 
Offended by answers
Quick to blame others 
Quick to shame ourselves.

Bill Lindsay August 7, 2015 at 9:42 AM There was a time when I wanted to shout at God and ask why He doesn't do anything about the mess down here; but I chose not to, fearing that He would ask me the exact same question ... it all begins with the man in the mirror. Great show of passion. Gary Dmun October 12, 2015 at 2:47 PM Thank you very much Bill. You are correct it all begins with the face in the mirror. Thank you for reading and understanding.
