Jay Del Fierro Poet Free verse

Why Hast Thou Forgotten...

Children of Adam...
why hast thou forgotten
reverential love besoughten ?

Upright ye walk,
but now downtrodden
foresaken art thou due allotted...

Material pleasures hamper thee
render thee,I so implore,
explore,absorb this natural splendor
temporary vanities beauty,
...memories acclaimed adore,
trees doth beareth fruit aplenty
water floweth wholesome freely
honey sweetened colors bloom
silken lustre natures loom....

What must be done
dear children of Adam,
why hast thou forgotten ?

Lucinda Bulger March 16, 2009 at 4:03 PM Hey Jay, you know, reading this (I may have a different perspective than you intended) but I get the overall feeling of mistakes made, how we all are not without sin, yet we see another that displays the ugly~ right away, society scorn... because it is easier than looking at self to realize there is a connection in some way, I believe, common threads tie every one on earth together and WOW, the possibilities huh? And my dear, close friend, I have found a beauty even in the darkness, Cont~
