Thrust & Dumped

by

Robert Cameron Hazelton

Thrust among the surging masses
Beset upon by steel and glass
Taught enough to just get by
Never how to truly try.

How can a soul in search of meaning
Learn from misbegotten gleanings
Vomiting forth from glowing screens
Where shadows play out ethereal scenes.

Education/Frustration are they the same?
Often, they only differ in name
Finding an answer is seldom the end
New questions are asked again and again.

Questing for truth, sincerity
Feeling denied quite frequently
Society, with it’s materialistic cabal
Holds our once proud nation enthralled.

Compassion, a commodity that’s rare
Why does it seem costly to care?
We must learn, we must change and grow
The richest rewards are free you know.

Dumped into the sodden ground,
Devoid of sight, touch, and sound
Adrift upon some astral plane...
Perhaps to walk the earth again?

Why don't you look at My personal concept of Heaven
