A collection of poems

Are we Alright?

It’s so loud
The tears and blood that violently hit the ground.
Miles away, but felt and heard all around.
On life’s, not so merry-go-round.
Fear is the scent of suffering aloud.
And my inner space isn’t any quieter now.
I get no breaks.
Unless I take, a large dose of prescribed sleeping aid.
Even that is not working great these days.
Nighttime is breeding ground for thoughts to ruminate
Time to put them all in the lineup, and begin to interrogate.
Inside, outside , daytime, nighttime.
I never feel 100% peace anywhere.
How does anyone feel alright?
Or sleep at night?
Humanity is causing humanity needless pain.
With more inconsolable suffering.
Our earth is crying.
Humans are carelessly dying.
Most people alive today are not living, they’re barely surviving.
Whether you live in riches and need for nothing.
Or in a tent, surrounded by nothing but sand.
Where there is hope…But not in man.
The most infertile place is the best womb for faith.
Fear is but a physiological experience, not a permanent state.
That doesn’t lessen the blood that is being spilt every day.
Though it is a reassuring thought, that nothing can ever stay the same.
Not even the terror, that holds hostage my sleep.
Or the pain felt when hearing about another careless death, or bombing.
Humanity, we are loud. And mother earth is crying.
The creator watches with sadness as he tries to decide, if we are ever gonna be worthy of this gift of life.
With the state the world is in…
I ask again, how does anyone feel alright?

    You put out into the world today how I’ve always felt, but never could put it as eloquently as you. Once again, you show everyone in this fucking wicked world how beautiful you are! You are like that little shining light…. More than likely underappreciated. Because, that’s how most people who are like you are treated. Well… It’s probably mostly fear for them too. People fear the beautiful ones. The ones who actually fucking care about human life and upholding the dignity of others. That’s just been my observation from my experiences anyhow.

    Yeah… most days I have to stay busy out of my mind to focus on what I can control as a coping mechanism. But even then, I feel like a madman for thinking that things don’t actually have to be this way. I hate that people think violence and cruelty is acceptable. Oh! It’s always fine when it happens to someone else, as long as it’s not me, am i right? There always has to be a scapegoat! No forgiveness, no mercy, no empathy, no compassion, just hatred and death. Always making enemies for no fucking sensible reason. And I despise that people have no belief in thinking that we can’t actually change things. Like, Wow! It’s possible to actually get along and share my stuff with others if they need it! Wow! What a concept!

    Yeah… that question you gave, “How does anyone feel alright?” I ask that all the time in my mind. We would rather survive, then to ascend further into what civilization is actually supposed to accomplish, which is to celebrate, and help Mother Earth in producing and protecting fucking life for God sake! We are all artists who give up the paint brush for a fucking Porsche, or for a piece of land that will be taken away from our children’s grandchildren through another stupid pointless war anyhow. But nah, stack up on money that doesn’t mean anything, and extract, extract, extract until there is nothing left. Mindless destruction you could say.

    Boy oh boy, I was extra sassy on this one! Lol! You know what? I remember you telling me I rocked last time, but nah, you are the one that fucking rocks! You are getting a 50/10 from me on this one. This is absolutely in your top 3! Maybe even number 1! Listen to them healing words of hers now people!!!!!

      You always know what to say and how to say it. Thank you 😊 I just keep seeing sadness and careless humans causing so much pain. For no reason!! I am one little smal person, with a low voice. Figured I can write so just write. I just feel helpless as most do but writing helps with my thoughts.

      Thank you for giving me your very supportive and also wise feedback. Sometimes you see things I dont. I always look forward to your comments.

      I hope your day has been lovely 🌞🙏🏼

        Exactly! For no reason! No reason literally at all! Keep sharing that inner love that you have though! It definitely has inspired my heart. So eh well, you may be a “small” voice in the grand scheme of things. But, that type of loving spirit is something that this earth respects more than the people who take from it without giving back in return. I would like to believe if there is an all loving Creator, then you would be a Queen up in heaven, or whatever is beyond in the afterlife. But then again, you already are a badass Queen already down here right now anyway! So that already shows those careless humans what’s up! 😎

        And yes, my day has been lovely indeed! 😁🙏🏻
