lies strewn
truth hidden
once grandeur
now societal woes
aimless thoughts
now phobia mania
right-the-wrongs
now conflicts
caring souls
now pretenders
when will it end
the answer my friend
is blowing in the wind
“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
― Langston Hughes

Thank you, BellaDharma and BellaSite Mum! This poem is from a collection of old poems that were published on another site that I have little by little moved to my new site. I get a little wacky every now and then.🤪
