Two Roads

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

How Many More?

How many more?
My heart weighs heavy,
my soul screams out,
my mind rages
in anger,
in grief,
in strong disbelief.

What happened,
and why?
What went wrong?
Hear my cry!

How many more?
How many will fall?
Believing lies
not esteeming
their hearts
their minds
their singular beauty.

What happened
and why?
Who planted
that sad lie?

How many more?
Though faith overwhelms,
and love consumes
the question continues
in my anger,
in my tears,
in my grief filled heart.

What happened?
Father, why?
Draw them close,
hear their cry...

Here it comes...

Here it comes!

It's coming hard,
It's coming fast,
It never slows,
It won't stop,
It cannot be held back!

It waits for no one,
has much to say...
It's beautiful,
painful,
and, oh, so short!

Its love is life,
Its end, at times,
is death...
It cannot be bribed
or borrowed.

Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
It's the future!
