As the raven caw
Alerting the demise
The warning falls
On the deaf that accepts lies
The eternal night
Gives no warmth to thee
As embers dance
A heated jig for me
The mind travels for a place to be bound
Feeling the tremors deep under ground
Fear for the unjust brutality that is seen
When can we just be happy instead of being mean
Every waking moment a tear falls from my eyes
As the young will never accept how time flies
Once we were young and accepted their truths as fact
Now we know “truth” and we cannot take the time back
Every generation has their fight they must pursue
Choose a side and hope it is the right one for you
As explosion rocks our very core
I sit here and wonder how much we have to endure.
we are on similar wavelenghts tonight it’s uncanny this is a great write lovely one ❤️
Yes, we are. thank you Crimson
I get my “news” somewhere in-between conspiracy communities and pure serendipity. It’s actually quite entertaining for me with the mindset I’ve taken the last 10 years or so. Suffering is our lot on this plane, to find meaning in the search for meaning and to feel feelings and think about thoughts. It’s a very painful process, as you well know, especially for empaths.
That is so true. Thank you Benjimin
I share your frustration and sorrow. It is exhausting, war, division, and the endless cycle of conflict passed from one generation to the next.
Thank you Kay-!, I feel bad for the younger generation. Not fair to live life like this
I doubt by now that there are “sides” very well defined anymore. It always has been right or wrong, and deep down we all feel it or we don’t. It’s a shame, that morality and justice have fallen so far down the line of what matters.
We are numbed by it all. Your write is a reminder to each of us that the frustration is universal. Your voice is true, and easy to agree with.
Thank you Styxian, W are getting numb to everything. Its a shame
Powerfully penned, Fia. A very heartfelt write my friend. It’s scary because history is being repeated, and most know those endings had major consequences. We’re witnessing actions that won’t be undone easily or can’t be undone at all. We’re all feeling the weight indeed. I can definitely relate. Appreciate you, cuz.

Thank you Damian, history is replaying itself. But the textbooks keep getting rewritten to suit some ones agenda
These are the thoughts that shorten my nights and keep me exhausted. I have a whole folder of pieces I’ve written trying to capture these thoughts. They’ll just stay parked in that folder because after a while it just starts to feel like more of the same and I’m tired of my own voice. The numbness isn’t enough cover the pain, that’s for sure
Thank you willow, you cannot cover the pain, even when you are numb something still seeps through
Wow, this is extremely thought provoking.
Thank you so much for putting this out there to reflect on.
Thank you, appreciate the comment. Property Poet
Fia this is a poem of great clarity and immense originality. I have read others on the dark times ahead but this poem held me rapt and fascinated. Fine scribing.
