A World So Broken Poem by Linda Barnes

A World So Broken

Rating: 5.0


I will leave this Earth
With a broken heart
Of all I have seen
And all that is not

I was allowed to grow up
Through rose colored glasses
Not having to witness
Streets so chaotic

Who would have believed
How this world would change
From celebrating Christmas
To dying for believing in same

Children of today
Have no clue or idea
What yesterday use to be
Or what tomorrow will bring

As a prayer is whispered
Will it calm their fears
As they cry themselves to sleep
Living in a world so broken

A broken World, It certainly is, So much we have changed, But unfortunately, violence is still, The language of the mentally ill. You're poem is full of truth and sadness for a style of life now gone and for the world we are now living in. Instead of the world getting better, we see violence and death on the rise. An excellent work, that highlights the absurdity of violence, remembering the victims of San Bernardino, rip. Thank you
