Our Children Are The Funeral Pyre Poem by Susan Williams

Absorbing and reflective, for as long as I have been around, great people have always enunciated the importance of children and the future, but what good are children if the future we make with our present steps are head to disaster. There is also a subset of people, small, who see children as accessories of their lives, something to claim trophy to, that's when we are their pallbearers.

This is simply brilliant.........thank u.......anjandev roy.

You are welcome! I imagine some are glad I write less! ! ! ! I know some of my poems are throw-aways- - some are to provoke laughter in those who read and that is a good thing to do with some poetry- -but I do desire to write worthy of contemplation poetry. Thank you for wishing me well, Soran

Exactly, Soran. It is hard enough to be wise in our handling of our children and produce a well-balanced, caring, and honest. It is almost impossible if we parents do not prioritize our children in all things. Yes, Soran, we the country will reap what we as the country sowed in our ads, in our songs, in our movies, in our games, in our speech, in our attitudes and behaviors considering drink, drugs, , work, purpose. Oh, I could go on and on

Thank you for highlighting this line- I felt it carried the rage I feel when parents don't parent their children but abuse them or lose them to the evil people in this world. Thank you, Soran, for the 10 and for faving this. I really appreciate the attention given to this one!
