INADVERTENT NEGLECT December 10, 2018December 27, 2018 by Shell DeToni, posted in Poetry And who wouldn’t have thought,“all the world would come to a halt the momenther spark went out.”But the world cares not for those damaged by circumstance,offering, not an ounce of virtue to salvage, not even a hint of the splendor that once immersed even the evilest of menLife has already deemed ugly and self-destructive,simply not worthy of savingThe highest personal effort is labored with the best of intent always resulting in failureAlthough goodness is the intent,cycles are broken,truths are called out, disintegration becomes preordainedCharity is bestowed without a second thought even though processes are wasted solely because it’s theirsLove is no more intimate as hollowness gaps inside a heart that once was full Grace becomes nothing more than selfish excuses to fulfill an insatiable addiction for lustYet it’s grace that ultimately brings us to our knees begging for more,it’s the defilement that injuresit’s the affliction that kills There is no mercyThere is no forgivenessFavor has never been fated nor outlined in the stars,leaving inconsequential mishaps that have been mistakenly obstructed by an unidentifiable shadowInevitability proceeds without warning,it’s another knockoutOne day,perhaps today,there will no longer be strength left to get back up and fight to live One day,the ruin will be permanent,as what was once a spark will halt and cease to existA light once blessed with such sweet sustainability,yet will turn to venom leaving a wake of melancholy to which all will drownAnd that, that will be the day the world truly hates all that has becomeThat’ll be that day there won’t be any strength left to come back,to fight,to surviveAnd who wouldn’t have thought,by the time that day arrives,all the world would have already forgotten Share this:TweetEmailIntagramLike this:Like Loading...
