Running Away? Poem by Sandra Feldman

Maybe Poetry
Is,
Just one more way
To hide,
To run away
From crude,
Rude, disgusting
Reality.

We destroy,
Kill
All positivity
As well as
Hope,
As violence always
Seems to take over
As wars and endless
Revolutions
With no solutions
Seem to make
Things even worse,
As all positivity
Is murdered,
By violent barbarism.

I see nothing positive
Ahead!
God help us,
If the forces
Of destruction
Lift up,
Inevitably,
Medusa's evil
And revolutionary
Spearhead!
