In a life of pain and wonder
nothing is what it seems
everything is shrouded by mystery
like a man not wanting to be found

The helplessness of the subject of this poem is painfully palpable. I really like the compassion and the intimation that we are all both the archers and the targets of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, to quote Shakespeare. Well done.
This was a painful read, I don't know why but I just find this slightly troubling, what is normal, still a good write
your last stanza reveals the truth of sinning. someone must pay for it. excellent write
The sinner should turn around and repent of their wicked ways and also ask Gods forgiveness just like the victims. When it rains or shines it falls on the just as well as the unjust. Victims do not grow weary of well doing for in due time you will reap just what you sow. Very inspiring write Dave.
This poem is a nice piece. Meaningful thoughts. People oustside are passing a life full of nothing. Really, where are we going? We must start to learn and see new things in life. I agree there are so many injustice. Very well Dave
unfortunately in any form of pain little children are always caught in the cross fire and at times are blamed.. agreed with Mr. Thomas just being aware and saying some words either of kindness or to snap others out of ignorance, helps all victims
Yes that is so true.so a progression begins and continues unchecked.
The only answer I have to this problem is, what goes around comes around! ! The wrongdoers have to pay in the end, thats what I believe! Excellent write!
A powerful poem Dave. Life throws up so many unanswered questions. The scales of justice seem to favour the wrongdoer and not the victim.
Victims stunned into silence is the norm whilst sinners act with impunity. A good write
Oh lord I listen and I listen I try and I try but there's always something round the corner wanting to tell me more a beautiful write we r yet at unconcious stage when we attain conciousness we will b superman
Thanks for raising your voice against the sinners.Rabindranath Tagore wrote a poem on it.One who commits sin and the other who endures it should be hated by all.They are equally committing crime.
Good write...Chain of sinners cant be broken.....true..Thanks for sharing...
most sinners justify their actions as the acts of convenience and many of us do not know that we are the sinners. thought provoking poem..
