Terranullius

We did steal their home, I doubt that ‘twas right
How doth Thou not see these sorrowful souls
Darkness hath killed this land, therefore their light
Terranullius? Thine sense burnt in coals

Thy help is hurting, how art thou so blind?
Alas! Hope of return, ever fleeting
Sympathetic words, but what of the mind?
We did not learn so we are repeating

The pain never ends, the breaks hath not come
We disrespect their beliefs, enslave them
thinking of then, a lonely mind turns numb
thoughts green-eyed, blinded by the shining gem

Evermore, sorry will be falsely said
Evermore, this absolute land runs red.

Speaks Volumes Date: 7/2/2022 12:25:00 PM Hi Kayla, your sonnet depicted the plight of the custodians of the land with such meaning. It can hardly be called "history" as its ongoing to this day. Yes, SORRY can be such an empty word, without actions and change to back it up. Thank you for your well written words. They form a "wake up call" to all of us who can instigate change.

I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.
