What Is Life Today Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reluctantly thinking, not being able to sort anything
out clearly enough to erase any doubts.

Bound tightly in knots, wanting to get loose and run
away forever, causes anger to peek about.

Watching many things take place which shouldn't be,
evil is seen in ever wider contexts.

It seems that the bad are being rewarded constantly
and the good are trampled under foot.

Life sits alone in the light, wondering what to do,
what is to become of it?

Has life on earth really taken on new meaning? Has
it turned so far around that there's barely any good?

Earth was once so full of life, now it seems to have
capsized beneath a wave of evil.

Very little is being done to save even those who are
wearing life jackets and can swim for it.

Altogether, definitions once held in high esteem no
longer exist, what is there to hold on to?

Where is there any hope except within where God is
dwelling?

Looking out, there is nothing to hope for, so we
must each seek Him and radiate love to those around us.
