Frances Schiavina Poet Rhyme

Truth In Thoughts

Rationalizing cost humanity Paradise
with burden to choose right the price
an ego to be awaken to rise
when the herd falls asleep to vice

Snake pride tends to hide
selfishness in a tomb inside
righteous façade outside
to camouflage grudges' bite

Passing blame for robbery of joy
burning culprit in thoughts like toy
scattering ashes' sparks to destroy
compassion that love may deploy

As part of humanity body
a sneeze in Wuhan is felt in Bari
a boomerang that travels to return
multiplied to quench or to burn

Only God reads thoughts judges right
His lovelight perfection shines bright
through any window open to His light
sprouting charity everywhere in sight

Carolyn Devonshire January 22, 2021 at 5:13 AM Your poem would have placed higher if it had been between 4 and 14 lines as in the contest rules. It's a shame because you have some very good lines. Congrats on your honorable mention. Best wishes, Carolyn
