Shame On Us! Poem by Sandra Feldman
Shame On Us!
Where does it come from?
This awful, trait
That makes us
Evil
And full of hate!
We are, supposedly
Rational beings
But we kill
Our own species!
Terrible murder!
Can Evil,
Go any further?
How can we feel
Love?
And yet, Kill, too?
Much more than
Shameful
What we do!
And there is,
No explanation
And absolutely
No excuse
For not respecting
Others' rights, to live,
Not even do we ever,
Declare a truce!
Will the killing ever
Stop!
And murder disappear?
Let's be truly civilized
And ban war and tragedy
From our living atmosphere.
very brilliantly crafted poem with a message to the entire mankind.This happens because we are supposedly rationale.Others, other than man, are fully rational.Really I am really extremely sorry we are not beings, we are simply humans.Thanks for sharing.Top scores100.
A passionate cry for ending the stupidity and evil that murder the loving nature of God's Children! As always, very well thought out, but more importantly, it's straight from the heart of a compassionate poet!
A profound poem, my friend. Your love and kindness for humanity always show in your magnificent pen. And your BRAVERY always shines. Top Marks! ! To my Poem List.
The third stanza are very incisive lines that cut through the core of heart. Yes, how can we feel love and yet kill, too. Best powerful words that can strike right in the head of a murderer.

A powerful and very desperate cry on the evilness of humanity. I like the opening lines. They moved one's mind to ponder about the flaws of the human race.
