What Life Means To Me

What life means to me
Just look around and see

It sure isn't just about existing
For many don't have such
This saddening view, viewing
Typical mans atrocity

Seeing saddening limpless bodies
Children, Grandchildren of you and I
It beggars belief of what life means
Only with tear ducts shall we cry

Now I roll my eyes in disgust
Paedophilia in our society
Really, what does life mean to us all
When perversion is so often freed

This leads me to murderous persons
Especially the ones declared free
Barbaric when we eventually view
Us, Chimpanzees gracing their trees

For I needn't go on
What life means to me
that I breathe, I'm alive, for such I see

Robert Lindley Date: 9/20/2015 5:03:00 PM My friend, we are in a time that darkness spreads out and so deeply. That sadly it is becoming accepted as normal and in some cases even applauded. Super 7 on this poem, we need far more poets with courage that speak out ,up and with convictions in what is truly right.

As each generation passes it appears to become more infested with lack of manners and appreciation. Humble apologies for my late reply. Smiles always, James :) :)

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Date: 9/20/2015 3:02:00 AM Huge James, sad that nowadays it seems the value of life to some is getting cheaper and cheaper that for some it so easy for them to take it not for a good cause but more so because of cravings for power.... :( thought provoking poem that challenges each one of us to look closer to life... hugs...~Olive Eloisa Login to Reply James Fraser Date: 10/20/2015 11:48:00 AM The world through today's eyes become very different as the generations proceed. The greed is becoming stronger whilst life becomes cheaper and cheaper. I pray those on their pedestals look down with some humanity and start to share their wealth. Will it happen, lets hope so for the sake of the world, for one day 'The Meek shall inherit the Earth' ~ hugs ~ little one~~so love you gracing my poetry pages, kisses aplenty ;-) xx Huge One xx
