it is
so easy
to let
the darkness
swallow hope
the weight
of despair
seems
impossible
to lift
and
the darkness
hides all
the good
the bad
the living
the dying
all vanish
in the darkness
you don’t
even have to
ignore
what’s
going on
it’s all hid
in a dark veil
of ignorance
just sit
quietly
and wait
for death
like everyone else
on
the planet
who has
given in
to
apathy

Yes, and so it goes, hey?
Not you, though 🙂
At first this sounded like a perfect description of depression, and then I realized. the more I read, that you were writing about something much, much darker. And you did it well, my friend. Love what you did with the image.
One reason why I love the Occupy movement– like an old-fashioned town meeting– every wo/man for him/her-self!
ugh..yes..too many have given in…and at times i fight hard against this kind of darkness as well…it overwhelms us all to easy if we’re not careful..thanks charles – i always leave here with my eyes “sharpened” and a bit more balanced.. you have a great way of setting things into a healthy relation..
Great poem. We must fight against the apathy – it is easy to give in and want to hide in the dark. Thanks for the reminder Charles.
This one speaks for me. Thank you.
Sigh! And there we are …
Whew! So many of us give up and give in, after a point.. I wonder if precious life deserves such rude behavior on our parts…
Very powerfully expressed, Charles.. it broke through the walls of my currently numb mind, like a jolt!!
in the holidays especially
Yes, it is easy. A very powerful poem, Charles
Being apathetic gets you just as far as many who are not. The sad state our world is in.
very well said charles. we are becoming so numb to reality these days
