on the shores of sorrow over the threshold of pain my eyes indulge figures only to perceive the harshness of a cruel reality that now exists and revolves in synchronized rapidity with the earth there is so much fear i feel so overwhelming so full of problems haunting tormenting the human race nothing but diseases and calamities to mar the much-treasured peace of mind and happiness such are no longer in consonance with what is, today.... i do not know just when or where some twisted minds convulsed to form mass murderers and calloused criminals gathering the seeds of massive destruction hurting and terminating one's own kind why this useless treachery and waste of human lives?
on the shores of sorrow i cling to maintain my sanity the long walk home is laden with thorns and shards of broken glasses my feet are numb ,my heart in emotional turmoil i gather myΒ Β inutile strength to come to the point confronted by eternal loneliness i can only say that sorrow is my comfort and love, the only sustaining feeling which keeps me alive never to forget that i am still a human being and out there, is a heaven somewhere with a promise of another life in another kind of world..
