A Level Of Misconception Poem by Angela Yarbrough

A Level Of Misconception

Rating: 4.0


Does a man turn away from right and good
Brought to the fact of humility not being able to provide
Children crying day and night denied everyday necessities
A lack of pride in being a man among men
Perceived lazy by a society that never has been hungry

Does man lack character, ethics, and moral stability
On dark cold chilling nights with no shelter or stillness
Caught up in a fight for mere wake in the morning survival
Things never perceived when childhood dreams were dreamed

When does enough become enough for you and I
How many go postal events or deaths in the streets
For the norm not to be normal in the sight of us all
Suffered long enough to bring suffering to an end
The level of misconception considered deeply

A sad poem and yet you reminded me of a Stephen Collins Foster song. Perhaps almost my favorite of his: Hard Times Come Again No More. Read mine - Sympathic Pain - Adeline
