More about The Silent Solitude - June 18, 2024

A contemplative woman sits in a dim, dusty room with a single lit lamp and scattered papers on a desk.

ACTUAL TITLE TO THIS IS:

"ANOTHER ONE'

...................................

A poem I wrote several years back and it is so relevant even today still....

..................................
"...A n o t h e r O n e..."

-We hear the cries


"Oh GOD!...
...Another one is dead!"

Why can't we stop the killings;
the life of ones we love - the life that lies ahead?

Spoken words...anger flares...quick reactions:
A life now gone. The life of ones' loved.
-we hear the cries
we hear the cries

"Oh God!...
...Another one is dead!"

How can we stop the killings?!

A life - ones loved - the future is in out our hands.

Losses we have felt - think back on all the pain!
Quick reactions that are taken;
to words spoken with anger...cannot be taken back.

-we hear the cries

Who shouts the loudest? Is it you?
Is the future life now gone of: family, friend; even foe?!
-again:
-we hear the cries

"Oh God!"...
...Another one is dead!"

STOP the killings!
Live life with ones we love.
'Make' a future of action: NOT reactions!

It very well could be you...

-when again:
-we hear the cries
from family, friend; even foes...shouting...

"Oh God!...
...Another one is dead!"
