Unanswered Cry Poem by Kim Hilliker

What are modern technology and medical breakthroughs for
When there no happy people anymore?

There's psychic hotlines and personal ads to go with new age trends
But still the strife, gloom and depression never ends.

Dreams forever shattered and all hopes have been banished-
Consideration, respect and harmony have all just vanished.

There are very few smiles and even less laughter,
Incomprehensable to think of happiness ever after.

Relationships are disposable, and children are on their own-
There's an overpopulation; yet, everyone feels alone.

To keep a positive attitude is the latest thing they preach,
A façade of emotions, pushing intimacy far out of reach.

In the stirring of the night, through the silence, there's a cry-
Going unanswered, whispers softly, 'only the lucky die.'
