gold hidden in the rugged earth upon which lay your quest yet murky and turbid is the dew that is harvested in a cup of sand your weakness never sets over the parch and scorching heat nor will your strength ever laid to rest until you will run out of your sweats you will want to know deep within your heart why all this land is covered with blood and yet the world lay witness and mightily unconcerned to its naked plight
your mind will never fathom why the rift is burning strong so you will keep on digging until you reach the bottom hoping it will lay bare all the reasons, that this blood covered land is a conflict no more in the mighty difference of white and black color but the gap of those who have and who don't
the question is...will man ever learn how to vanish indifference? give those that have not and even out the earth's wealth so revolt will not explode?
perhaps nobody really cares... you are alone, abandoned in this quest...buried in a drifting sand stained with ruthlessness by the greed of human hand glued forever in human blood.

About this poem:
Inspired by a blog about poverty from Africa, and all over the world that is suffering with poverty and hunger.
Hi Phyllis, a most interesting, concise write we have here. I totally understand the feelings here. It is always the same, just as you write here, those who have, they want more and they don't care what they have to do to get it. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Even today, now, we have people living in developing nations who live below the poverty line. I'm in the position of rob Peter to pay Paul, just keeping my head above the water. Governments have to start doing something about the world poverty. They can't leave it to the normal Joe's, we don't have the resources. A caring write from a heart of light. Have a good day. Catch you later. Your Friend always....MIKE.

Having written so much about war lately, I can't help but question why the nature of man's unquenchable desire for blood and war?
