Danger's Edge Poem by Sandra Feldman

Sanity!
Where are you?
All seems to crumble
To be falling apart!
What is,
Should not be
And what shouldn't,
Seems sustained
By strange, almost
Inhuman noises,
Gaining ground
Stifling,
Positive sound.

As the waters of sanity,
Evaporate and narrow
"Twenty First Century! "
Are you our nightmare
Our worst case scenario?
Where all seems futile
Where beauty fumbles
Mortally wounded,
By indifference,
And sorrow?

Sometimes,
I feel as though
We're swimming
In an Aquarium,
Long, dark and narrow
With our humanity wilted,
Our brains tilted
And no Hope in tomorrow.
