Sorry it's taken me so long to review your post. But, they liked me so much at the hospital the first trip that, they made me come back for a longer visit. Glad to be out and reading your posts. :-)

Sadly this is so true. Thank you for sharing this in a poem because I think that it really gets your point across. Especially with what's happened recently, I love this verse "We risk becoming desensitized by frequent violent acts/That we are a violent society, is a verifiable fact/Mass murders, vigilante executions of other races/Police commit atrocities with blank stares on their faces".

Thank you, some mistakenly see this as a blanket accusation. Far from it. I do not believe that God would allow this to get to the point where we were all that much out of control. I appreciate your fine comments.
Comment from Goodadvicechan
This is a good choice of the picture to match the poem.
Sadly we live in a world as you say full of hatred and racism, coupled with two justice systems and two major parties disagreeing with each other. Under this condition, what we experience are more shooting, more violence, more riots.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your great review comments.
Comment from lyenochka
A great and very serious warning in poetic form! Thank you for summarizing it so well. It is alarming that we are "becoming desensitized by frequent violent acts" and unjust courtroom decisions. Vigilantes need to answer for the lives they took! But God is the perfect Judge, and as you warned, the end is near.

Hi Nomi338,
because I believe that so many people hold your views... change is definitely on the horizon. Whether it's too late will be the ringing question my compassionate and loving friend.
Greed has been, and always will be the catalyst for this one-way direction. Change is the only true constant in our lives... let the conscious among us stay focused on the truth and the end game. To be and give the love, compassion, integrity, respect, forgiveness, the gratitude, courage, strength, honesty and to live in the faith of our convictions... this is our mission.
I love your poem in all the sentiment and truth it brings to the fore. It's a thinking person's poem... all the people who actually see the way we are going. They always say, things need to be the darkest before we see the light... well things are pretty dark. Time for the light!
Enjoyed reading your powerful words... thank you so much for sharing them!
With our thoughts we create...
the balance of decency.
Kind regards,
James.

James, my friend, your wisdom shines through every part of your review. I am honored by your response. Together we must pray for, search for and contribut to the salvation of our world.

True my friend... consciously praying, searching, contributing and focussing on a much bigger picture. Blessing to you!

Your poetry represents ALL compelling and truthful statements. You've taken time to think, ponder, and creatively state the realities of our time.
"I could go on, but time is short, the end is very near
Denial of the things I have said, I can already hear." I chuckled at this statement, but I know it too, is true. Well done.

There are always deniers. People that deny the presence of the sun even when they feel its heat upon their backs.

You are right in that we live in violent times. It seems like they're always crime in the news... it's sad and scary. We can't even go to a parade without fear of getting killed, like it just happened in Wisconsin.

No place is safe any more, A poor child in his room at home is killed by a stray bullet. But some say that access to guns should not be regulated. Maybe not, but if the penalty for unregulated use of a firearm is swift and severe punishment, we might go back to using slingshots.

You are right, we need stronger gun laws
Comment from Sanku
You are so right.Hatred is the predominant emotion in the world There are elements that whip that to gain power.will we ever learn? Your warning that we will be out of time is well timed

Hello Norman,
You've hit the nail on the head in this poem, my friend.
Unfortunately, the head is a hard one, not open to change,
though even a chip in the facade is a beginning.
I always favor content over form, and the content here is spot on.
Well said.
Best wishes to all as Thanksgiving approaches.
Robert

Thank you Robert, Happily only one reviewer took me to task on the format. It is my fault for not declaring in my note section that format was being ignored for the sake of a full message.

You are completely right in everything you say in this well written poem. I feel such despair each day when I watch the news, I wonder how it came down to this. Thank you for sharing.
