Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Too Sad Too Cry

Too sad to cry
My eyes stay dry
Even though my heart breaks
What I read
I can't conceive
The many lives wars take.
Why should others care
They are not there
Away from all the strife
Parents die
Without saying goodbye
To their kith and kin
Why should we care
We are not there
Amongst the betrayal and sin.
We rest our heads
In our comfortable beds
Without any thought of others.
We should care
Although not there 
It could be our fathers and mothers.

Government hesitate to build affordable housing knowing it is so easily destroyed! "Too sad to cry", indeed! Aloha!

Tom Cunningham August 14, 2022 at 12:37 AM We read about so many horrors in our newspapers and see it on TV that we have become somewhat numb to it. Frustration too that we can't do anything to change it. Tom Shirley Hawkins August 14, 2022 at 12:47 AM Thank you, Tom. I agree; when you think that it can't get any worse, it does; that's when the frustration sets in and the numbness are needed to stop you from losing it altogether. Take care. Shirley
