For the Grace
WHAT A SAD STATE FOR HUMANITY
Prithee I pray
Have pity I say...
The insanity of humanity walking by,
On full display..
Begging, pleading,
Lacking, seeking.
Be you dreg, be you royalty..
In our sameness,
Have God's loyalty.
Are you big? Are you small?
Surely pride still stands tall..
Whether, poor, whether rich..
Soon or later
Scratch an itch.
The rich, they hide their sins..
Behind closed doors.
The poor in two,
Maybe fours..
I see you walking... talking...
You scratch at doors.
Just a few blocks,
A few lights,
To escape insanity, poverty's blights.
Unimagineable in conception,
Welcomes no reception.
How do I help you?
How do I help me?
Can feel your HUMANITY..
Drives me insane to know your quandary,
Be a stones throw in front of me!

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
