I spend so much time tripping into a dead wire
That I somehow seem to neglect although I know I don't
These beautiful girls

The brightness was kept
in a dark room of neglect
now it can pass through

on a golden grain
the sun's rays are reflected

Shameful Neglect and Ignorance

Sheer stupidity,
          human neglect...
          Wash car on the sidewalk
          and with water hose,
          a complete waste... !

Did You Find That

I called to see you at home 
No,go front door informed
I dropped it at the door and came 

Did you find that?
Find my hugs that,if not neglect!

'Scepter and Crown
must tumble down.'
wrote a poet of a long past day. 
For want of renewal,
must so many a school
not tumble but crumble away.

Lost In The Shadow Of Your Footsteps

Shadows stretch across my mind,
in grief I'm lost
hard to find.

Darkness whispers,
pulling me near.

In the sadness of your loss,
I disappear.

Neglected Then Connected

neglect
a sweet puppy
without a home to live
warm bed given by a stranger

For the lack of refining called taste
Is a crack in the lining of waste
If the voice of respect
Is a choice you neglect
Then your back is defining your haste.

No greater from me does God require,
Nor less, does He, of me expect.
That for Him, great love, I aspire,
And love for neighbor, I not neglect.

GEM

Hold onto your soul dearly
Treat yourself as a precious gem.
For it is when we neglect our very being….
The world spins and nothing sparkles.

cause those in it
do not see the fault in
each other and neglect any 
fore warning until when they
get burned and its already
to late to look back
