Sweetest Joy Poem by John Sensele

Sweetest joy springs from the vulnerable
In whom human warmth abounds
To make the impossible possible
With their heartbeat sounds on human grounds.

Sweetest joy hobnobs with a genuine smile
Dished out as a free gift to awaken goodness
That hides under a layer of sorrow for a while
As society celebrates selfishness and ego-tripping sickness.

Sweetest joy bounces off the face of a mother
Who has so little food but so much peace of mind
Despite the poverty she and her brother
Endure because society is not only unfair but also unkind.

Sweetest joy lies in sleeping without fearing robbers
Who like Robin Hood snatch ill gotten wealth
From kleptomaniacs and redistribute national cakes among neglected members
Who wallow in abject poverty and ill health.
