All Else Doesn'T Matter Poem by suzan gumush

All Else Doesn'T Matter

Rating: 4.3


If I hear news of a stabbing
Of all else it would be my son

If I hear news of someone excluded
Of all else it would be my Daughter

If I hear news someone is in debt
Of all else it would be me

Maybe I'm cursed
Right through my purse
All that I hear
Comes back to me in fear

No love for my security
No support for my cause

No comfort for my hearing
Alone I stuggle the clearing

All life I have lost
My health it did cost
All else doesn't matter
When nothing I have left to chatter

Carried a real sense of struggle and pessimism which I felt made it a strong poem. Patrick PS I love pathos in poetry!
