RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Swimming in depths of sadness, looking through teary
blurred eyes, hidden behind an underwater cloud of
unhappiness.
...

Living on nothing, not wanting to eat, having no appetite
for anything in this life, least of all food of any kind.

Just wanting to abandon life the way it has abandoned me
...

Reaching out to the world through poetry, hoping to
make friends with people of other countries and cultures,
wanting to learn what others do and what they believe in.
...

Do you realize that out of six billion people in the world
only one hundred fifty one million are atheists?

There are two billion Christians in the world, so you see
...

Religious rights are inherent in our world, they are a
main principle building block in every detail of humanity,
the cornerstone of humanity in fact.
...

A question has been presented to this mere poet, here is is:

If a person changes their religion to the majority of the
country they are living in, will things get better for them?
...

Why does the media tell lies and slant news to fit
opinions of those who are not worthy to be listened
to?
...

Thinking, writing, wondering what other people in this
world of ours think about what I've written in poetry.

Wanting to know what others think about world issues,
...

Recalling the world in many thoughts, wondering how people
are coping with evil all around them.

Hoping they continue to stand strong, never giving in to it,
...

Loving measures of time allotted in rhythms and music,
writing along with them constantly, fully enjoying what-
ever moments are spent in listening to all types of music.
...
