Life Revealed

Life Revealed 5.6.16 Troubling times came crashing in swiftly like an incoming tide smashing everything in its path, destruction miles wide. Without warning or a piercing scream life was revealed, unveiled in its harshest terms, unyielding no quarter or mercy given. Why? How? Who? All questions asked yet no answers are to be coming you don’t matter am told, swept out like refuse to be discarded. Naïve to believe that love and peace rest among the many few it seems have it and many more don’t want it, dollars equal happiness. The sun has given way to stormy skies filled with darkness an emptiness casting a long shadow upon people in need, reaching for a lifeline. Mankind was made in his image to love, honor, protect each other something has gone incredibly wrong, solitary creatures sleeping with their riches. Can Peace and forgiveness be found? Or have they left town an old document of the past on an outbound train traveling deep into nowhere, everywhere Questions many is there hope? A chance people can help each other love one another? Perhaps, not yet as today has gone away. © 2016 David J. Mitchell
