POSITIVITY #C

There's reason some writes touch on things dark
life doesn't equate to 'walk in the park'
Feeling our existence resembles a 'gift' insanity
exclusion of fairness a spiteful injustice to humanity

I feel pain enveloping those who suffer undeserving
societies indigents being treated as irrelevant unnerving
This despicable world mentally beats us down
some hover just above water rather than drown

Most disheartening knowing futures destined for worse
mans insatiable appetite for destruction they can't reverse
Majority believe in their gods others some devil
evils alive "god" quiet on every level

Arduous writing about 'positivity' when so little of it
that could reverse if laws had true grit
Again not a pessimist slowly turned into one
grateful if 'one' benefitted from write I done

Congratulations on 100. I will share something my Mom was always saying to me and it is very true. I know there is not equality in the world and there has to been since the beginning of time and I won't get into my beliefs. But she use to say "Smile - and the World smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone."

So I try to always present a happy front if I can - some days it's not possible. But what she says is very very true.
