Poem – Do Not Listen To The Screams Of The Already Dead

We are being asked to go searching for our soul.
As this world tries to pull you away from that goal.

If you care not for your fellow man.
Then you might have forgotten from where you began.

I see those who play at the game of compassion.
But they do not see those starving or those whose faces are ashen.

Those that sit by and blame while watching the TV.
Want worldly concepts to be black and white to make it easy.

But choices they make … determine life and death.
Their illusions take away dreams and breath.

It is no different than taking someone’s life.
When you condone and support a world of suffering and strife.

Many will never wake up and see the horror they have wrought.
They do not see their life is worthless for the lies that they willingly bought.

Just know if you really feel the pain of those suffering now.
There is a doorway through if you are finally willing to allow.

Allow in the light from the darkness that threatens this time.
Then take out your ice axe and begin to climb.

This world is so terrified that now, it is frozen in fear.
And the darkness will try to take everything that you hold so dear.

It will be up to you to climb back up into the light.
Many will try to stop you and threaten you with fright.

But fear is not real when courage is the course.
Fear is a feeling that bullies use with force.

I listen not to the screams of the already dead.
And I will never let them get into my head.
