Without a Trace....

When my lungs no more inhale God's air,
My eyes blind to the soaring bird,
Parched lips have said their final prayer,
All parting grief by me unheard.

Pale hands no longer touch your face,
Limp arms no life to pull you close,
Cold feet can't walk you to the place,
Where we in love, used lie engrossed.

This world so blessed with beauties fair,
How oft' they soaked right through my skin,
Mankind itself made me despair,
And wrenched my gut so deep within.

Burn my remains from this rat race,
Inhumanity plagues this earthly crust,
Gaze on my cinders in disgrace,
Then burn them too until grey dust.

Delete me from this world so curt,
From lifes atrocities I move on,
Erase me from the pain and hurt,
Now burn my dust 'till completely gone !

About this poem:
When my time comes to depart this life,
Inhumanity will be one of the reasons
I won't mind leaving.

Hi, Mizzy4,
This world so blessed with beauties fair, How oft' they soaked right through my skin - so when one dies cremate and sprinkle ashes on the ground so new life can begin again. The best one can do, while living, is to do as much good as possible. And, write nice poems that remind us to do so, of course. Thank you for sharing yours.

Hi Mick

I can well understand your reasoning as to why exiting this plane is not altogether without its attractions on occasions - on the other hand, I can think of one or two reasons for hanging on just a little longer, if only to get back a worthwhile return of all my pension contributions over my working life.

On a technical level, you write great poetry!

Regards

Bill cheers

This is an excellent write!

Odette posted this comment on one of my poems:
"Human beings are evil personified."
You are saying:
"Inhumanity plagues this earthly crust,"

Yet, Keep up your spirit, my friend.
There is still goodness in the world.
The Desiderata offers this advice:

"Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism."


Kind Regards!
