Broken Bloodlines
by Clara Mae GregoryBlood is blooming
In this carnage,
Where lives are
left in pieces
Of abortive debris-
Like devalued dung
Deposited on a doorstep
Without any dignity. 05/10/2018 Author's Note: new stuff

It is easy to devalue lives other than my own, which I find myself at odds with daily. It is more than existential, it is almost Keatsian for me. Thanks

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 08/13/18 at 01:50 PM This poem is small yet huge in emotional scale and reminds me of the value of existence, whether it belong to a human or to a blade of grass. We all pass this way once and we all struggle to hold on to such a life which is difficult to say the least and utterly unlivable lest there is love in it and understanding. |
