Woe...
“Is there a brave lord birthed by Fate
To wield old weapons, win new estates
And tear down walls Time sanctifies,
Raze ancient temples as hallowed lies,
His pride to break, his love to lose,
Destroying his race, his history, his muse,
And relinquishing peace for a life of strife,
Leave only a corpse that the flies refuse?”
TCBS
Woe fore I weep,
for things done in conceit.
Woe, as I mourn
the lovers living forlorn.
Woe though I ache
for all their irrevocable mistakes;
alas, woe is my lament
for all the acts done without regret.
A blight, any and all
who bring misery and distress,
to a loving heart, grief and wretchedness,
fore you are so woefully banal.

My heart hears yours so deeply. What we cannot undo and for that which cannot be helped, we must live with these things and see ourselves as bystanders in a sea of misery.

Yes, for all the power we wield and for all the knowledge we profess to have; many still fall prey or are preyed upon.Thanks for the comment turtle man.

Exactly abuse of any kind or inflicting sorrows or distress on the humble and naive is abominable.Ken, thanks for reading me and the cool comment.
