grace is giving someone what they need
without price tags they can't emotionally afford
love, patience, alcohol sometimes drugs
keep your judgement of what you don't understand far from me
I see the vets on the streets can't live in a tiny home village ptsd sees to that
no where safe for the broken
carrying a mountain of oppression
experimented on the mentally different
calling out to the madness they see
turn up the sun God keep them warm at night
empty castle, empty buildings and still they roam in the elements alone
carry their pain their own personal hell
so, I pick up their burden and carry it in my soul
with the last of my energy I will stand and fight
with my last breath cast doubt of the light
the light is where you get erased
fight the good fight people and realize
he is against us
the elite rise while the humble die alone
with some kind of disease like covid
drowning in their lungs
coma bound stuck in limbo
while family members are ordered to stay home
their loved ones slip away...
into the void
and I scream hold on loves I'm coming
He won't sip off our pain.

The enemy is here. Be not blind. Be not silent. Be not deaf. This is war. Fight the good fight.

This is an elegant list of contemporary injustices which, if I interpret with any degree of accuracy, seems to suggest that our individual strolls with our creator will make us all better in some shiny afterlife.
Help me out here. Who is against us? Who will not sip off our pain. The Elites?
They are already sipping off of our pain.
I'm totally simpatico with the sentiment expressed here, including the stand and fight sentiment, but I want to see a final victory in the here and now over the injustices happening in the here and now and that will require the kind of robust solidarity of the masses against the elite (capitalists) that hasn't been seen for several generations in this country. Are my fellow Americans really ready for that? I certainly hope so because the elite are perfectly delighted to continue seeing the masses dope themselves up with thoughts and prayers after every shooting and epidemic generated body bag bonanza. Thoughts and prayers are so much cheaper than specific actions and agency that might do some actual good for the folks on the street.
I am impatient. I am no Enoch. I want progress now, and for that we must have solidarity from main street and beyond.
H.G. Wells knew this a hundred years ago and Karl Marx knew it almost two hundred years ago and now we must re-learn all that they knew AND we must act on it.
If Marx and the bible agree that money is the root of all evil, then why can't Christians and Communists cooperate to make the world a better place? The answer is that the financial elite don't want things to change because our collective suffering is what pays for their permanent vacations. They (global conservatives) are using our Puritan work ethic against us.
Am I crazy too? Maybe. But if I am then more time at work to pay off medical bills isn't going to alleviate the stress is it?
I apologize for the boomer rant but I guess we have to take the bad with the good when it comes to inspiration and your poem has inspired!.
And now I have to go back to work.

hello dearest Sonneteer you're right we have to act now we know for a fact that on this planet alone there was once technology that has been stripped from us... knowledge that has been ripped from us...we have to band together though it can't be a few ready to stand to take the giant down...I will fight with my last breath for what is right...I see a grand delusion has gone down and even I have to fight to stay awake and aware...my love Brenda

"keep your judgement of what you don't understand far from me" that line and the rest of the stanza speaks truth and it's heart breaking, specially many don't have a safe haven.
Wonderful work.
Wonderful work.
