gold hidden 'neath 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 parched 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 as the world lay witness and yet 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 to those that have not and even out the earth's wealth so revolt will not explode?
perhaps nobody really cares... you are alone, abandoned on this quest.. buried in a drifting sand stained with ruthlessness by the greed of human hand glued forever in human blood.

About this poem:
when life beats us with socio economic inequities and cruelty and sadness cripple our very soul...
we just can't seem to have the courage to wade more but yet keeps the flicker of hope alive...
Hi, lindsyjones, ...so you will keep on digging until you reach the bottom hoping it will lay bare all the reasons… Such a powerful image that could go either way, depending on the nature of the digging. Thanks for sharing your write that asks us to examine YOUR QUEST and its cry out against inequalities.

I feel broken...I am overcome with sadness as to the future of humanity.
Have we not groped in the dark to reach for light?
Have you not amassed enough to draw me weak
so you can build your dreams?
Are you even listening?
