I Wonder...
by Robert Betts (Age: 62)
copyright 06-01-2001


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
How long is the endless line
that never sees an end
and in the dappled sky above
can you tell where's the bend?
The pinkish-gray of morning's bright
and rosy golden glow,
when brilliant sun begins to rise
where does it all go?
The crunch and snapping rustle
of newly fallen leaves,
is this just heard by elves and gnomes
who hide amongst the trees?

The moans of all those children
a million souls unfed,
do any of the people hear,
while snugly in their bed?
The gunshot crack of suicide's
freshly broken heart,
does it give cause for sorrow
to those a world apart?

Who of us can see the lamb,
fresh fallen in a pit?
Do any of us really care
or truly give a whit?
Can any of us feel with hearts
broken and scabbed over?
or do we simply romp and play
blithely in the clover?

Does someone know where it did start
and will it ever end?
Oh please dear God, I'd like to ask,
can you just send a friend?

Some of the things mentioned in this piece are just beautiful things we take for granted, like the sound of rustling leaves, the morning glow... Yet others are terrible things that no one should take for granted. The moans of the unfed children, and those without a friend. I really like this poem. It makes me think with my heart.

I love the new reader! With some poetry, it can help with the rythym and flow.

Bob, if I could change these things that happen in our world I would. More often than not people look after themselves and do not care about anything else.
A great write which I found sad,

Moving; brings up the many times I feel helpless with regard to others' and the world's sorrows.
