In response to Scott’s Daily Prompt, Shoulda, coulda, woulda
Shoulda done more Coulda done more Would have done more But There was this And there was that We did our best Under the circumstances We did Better than them Better than we thought So We apologise For earth we left you We enjoyed it while we could So now you can’t
We
are blind
to the truth
Everyday
Suffering goes on
And we deny it all
Unable to find a way
Through the maze of our modern lives
To a place where we can be ourselves
And hold out that hand that helps our neighbour
Instead we clench our hand in a tight fist
Holding tight onto what we have gained
Not seeing what we are losing
What slips away from our grasp
Diminishing our souls
Focused on our goals
With such passion
That we are
simply
Blind
Today’s prompt is. Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Tell us about something you know you should do . . . but don’t.
