Poem 4 day 4

What does it mean

to ask?

For more time,

more presence

being held when sad

Can you please

hold a space for me?

In your heart

while I am struggling?

Can you please

offer your support while

I am trying to make a living?

What about him and her

who have no home?

what about that life inside them?

Do you really believe they did

not try?

to ask, to find a way,

to be listened to?

They say a friend in need is

A friend indeed,

but I see a lot of

loneliness,

a lot are penniless.

Having no pennies is not as

bad as having no home,

no belonging dwelling

How do we ask for help,

when even if we get the courage

~which is hard enough~

no one hears

and no one sees?

They remain unstirred

while we beg on our knees

mental illness on the rise

the genetic framework is the disguise

our society needs

a community

our economy needs

more unity.

How can we become a better people?

How can we ask: Collective please 🙏🏼

Please bring us sanity, compassion, and humanity?

🙏🏼💛

Will you join to support me?

  1. Oh… I just posted a long comment and it said 500 internal service error… 

    I will pray with you dear Ka as we hold compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters who by the Grace of God we could have found ourselves walking in their shoes..

    Much love xx ❤

  2. It is as you said, not the pennies…but that gift of a hug, an arm around our shoulders, a hand given when tears appear, or even just our presence to give a little strength.

    Well written Ka, may it stir that something in someone where a simple decision can just make that difference in a soul to smile 😀❤️🙏
