'Where Will It All End? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Where Will It All End? '



Now highways of ghostly pitted asphalt,
Void of mans inventions of steel and rubber.

Stores now empty lanes, 'Part time work only please'.
Mans suffering, all of their own conditional doing.

Homes being lost, to computer voices without hearts,
Yet their owners' are into own depths of moral peril.

Pesidential hopefulls, making promises they will never be able to keep.
Telling lost souls what they want to hear and not as it is.
Only to become part of the parasites who feast off rotting flesh.

We are looking back at history repeating itself,
Rearing their ugly head one more time,
Feasting on blood of poor and an already hopeless society.

We now fight over a treasured crude, that once was life long ago,
When then will we ourselves become the same?

Fuel, but for another type of race.
Filling their need until, it also becomes out of reach.

When will this madness stop?
Where Will It All End?

You ask a very good question, Linda, and when you find the answer please let the rest of us know. This poem tells of the human condition as it is, without pulling any punches. When will this madness stop? When people finally realize there is another person living next door, or just down the road. When people can become good neighbors again. When people can learn to keep their opinions to themselves, especially if they are not part of the conversation. Presidential hopefuls cannot keep the promises they make, because they are busy cleaning up from the previous administration, and not only that, the president is only the figure head that signs bills into law, and is the commander-in-chief of the military. The promise of, 'I will reduce taxes, ' is not within the president's reach, unless congress sends him the bill to sign. We now fight over a treasured crude, that once were life long ago, When then will we ourselves' become the same? These are very prophetic lines, Linda, and the way things are going it may not be too much longer. Thank you for sharing this 'that's the way it is' poem. Barbara
