Poetry

Reading of another human’s suffering through verse
Makes real the notion:emotional pain is a global curse
No matter one’s race, religion or creed of belief
Expression through poetic word provides some relief
But for those for whom this gift has not been bestowed
Are for life burdened, their emotional baggage always in tow
So to the few who are bestowed and honored with a poetic gift
Help by sharing with those less fortunate, by filling this cathartic rift
That your words expressed will relate to their unfortunate toil
And serve to lance forever. their growing emotional boil,
