An Emotional Day Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

An Emotional Day

An emotional day
becomes another,

An attachment becomes sorrows
of the world and the weathervane,

and the sky its bountiful
andrain it's deluges,

The mortal man is forever agrieved,
by his own flesh and carnage,

The dictator kills as many as he can,
propensityforabsolute powers,

And human rights are less than clamor,
helpless as an innocent looking,

young man starts his shooting rampage,
young ants imitating the old art,

As flowers and condolence notes
are distributed freely.

The mourning is intense
in the supposed gravesites,

Endless theories on the forensic files.
As deaths are piled in the morgues
and the hospitals.

Good and evil
are continually at war,

Somewhere in the wild,
an endangeredhorn
and skullsfortrophy.

Fortified zones
restricted zones,
the killing continues in incognito.

The fury of the impending rain
like all season screamers
andstaples of the daily newspapers,

While a year of hard truth confronts another,
the mind, we look for the prayers and divine interventions,

Evennightmares comes as wake up calls,
