A New Emptiness Poem by John Scully

A New Emptiness

Rating: 4.8


I found yesterday
today,
through unlit corridors,
and saw catastrophies
tomorrow,
standing, waiting, still.

Why so much of negative energy in this poem? A new emptiness, unlit corridors, and saw the tomorrow's catastrophes...so sad. A few people are in this mode always, but I do not want them to suffer. Come out of your dream world and see the real world, it is so beautiful, well lit, there are a lots of people to help us and no problems..

I like your use of the term, Unlit corridors. Though the poem is somewhat pessimistic, I like it because of its simplicity.
