In shadows where the lost souls weep,
Where dreams lie buried, far too deep,
The echoes of sadness, heavy and cold,
Whisper tales that remain untold.
The streets are crowded, hope is thin,
The homeless wander, no way to begin,
Corporate greed, a ruthless king,
Crushes the weak beneath its wing.
The cries of the suffering pierce the night,
A chorus of pain, out of sight,
Voices silenced, hopes erased,
In a world where despair has embraced.
The rich grow richer, the poor decay,
With nothing left, no words to say,
Government cushions, soft and warm,
While the masses tremble in the storm.
Despair grows stronger with each breath,
As more are pushed toward silent death,
The sick grow sicker, drowning in pain,
From the start of dawn to night’s refrain.
To live is to suffer, to exist is to die,
As tears fall silent, no reason to try,
In this cruel world of endless greed,
The broken are left with no way to plead.
Silent voices, once so strong,
Now whisper where they don’t belong,
In the night sky, their cries take flight,
But there’s no comfort, no end in sight.
In every corner, darkness reigns,
Hope is crushed, nothing remains,
The world bleeds out its final breath,
As life succumbs to a slow death.
The struggle to breathe becomes a chore,
With nothing to hope for, nothing more,
In the shadows, the broken reside,
Waiting for the pain to subside.
But in this void, there is no peace,
Only a longing for release,
The silent screams, they echo still,
In a world that’s lost its will.
From cradle to grave, the suffering’s real,
A wound too deep, too dark to heal,
In the end, all that’s left to find,
Is the darkness that consumes the mind.
The cries of the many fade away,
In a world that’s fallen to dismay,
And in this silence, all we hear,
Is the endless echo of our fear.

Same to you, John! 😊 have a good one
Your words capture the weight of the world’s struggles with such vivid emotion. The darkness you describe is real, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all. But even in the deepest shadows, there’s a glimmer of hope.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. – John 1:5
We may be surrounded by despair, but I believe there’s still light, still hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Keep expressing what you feel sometimes, that’s where the healing begins.
Thank you very much, Willie! I agree, the light will surpass the darkness for sure. 😎
Amen 🙏
