Ecomium

ENCOMIUM      
Out of mouths of men comes stream
of impunity
Its devastating inhumane effect lasting
beyond eternity
Ripping apart the wellspring of joy
to humanity
Profound animosity hiding behind
expressed equanimity 
Creating an image of a society devoid
of solidarity

Heads devoid of integrity and empathy
have arrived apex leadership
Between the ruler and the ruled,
is there any relationship?
Unhealthy state of intellectual curiosity 
has brought untold poverty
Incessant making of policy without 
scrutiny
O! when shall I overcome this
unprecedented hardship? 

I long for change
Inevitability of change has brought terror
My body,My Soul and My Spirit has been challenge
Closing my eyes,I see,I smell, I feel horror 
Unbreakable chains, Irresistible bondage

I run to the youths
Their ways are inexplicably vicious
I run to the naive kids,the future youths
Knowingly,am bitten,now am undoubtedly venomous
This is nothing but the naked truth

O Fate
Thou has seriously dealt with me
Leaving me in shambles, I thank thee
I see my future now
As I look on the bright side to the I bow

Victor, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly, poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
