Lightening Bolt Through The Heart Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lightening Bolt Through The Heart



Living life, acknowledging it's uncertainty and incom-
pleteness throughout the years, holding fast to certain
ideas then realizing they hold no truth, being lies from
the beginning.

People tend to do this to us throughout our lives, port-
raying themselves and their lives as being one way when
in reality they are total opposites.

How do we determine those who love and care for us truth-
fully from those pretenders who in the long-run have wast-
ed our time, not caring about us we we do them.

What a betrayal that is, striking us like a lightening bolt
right through the heart, walking away without another thought
of all you've been through together through the years.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Riding on the train to South India, thinking of the poor living off the land alone, wondering what's happened to those who had professed their love and left them to fend for themselves and children. Very sobering thoughts.
