Requiem
for the world I knew
Requiem
It no longer exists
Requiem
I remember and grieve it
this world I believed in
This world where the world was safe
Yes, wars and famines
But the world was safe
Yes, massive injustices, mass killings
But the world was safe
Or so I believed it to be
Now, requiem
for a lost world
gone forever
the lost world of my beliefs
The seemingly solid firmament
has been torn
broken
A cabal a cohort
is against us
is against the world
that I believed in
My planet is nn danger
Requiem
I am alone
as if at a graveyard
as if at the edge of a grave
I am at a private requiem
for a lost world
where the cabal evil
was out of sight
where the cabal forces
made their evil moves
but I did not know
It felt so solid
that world I mourn
that world with a thick veil
between what I saw
and the forces
making their moves
playing their game
Requiem
For a moment I am in a cathedral
high valted dome above me
the coffin in front
I am quiet
In the stillness I wait
to know my next move
Maybe it is time
to take time
to honor
the deep inner loss

REQUIEM - POEM OF LOSS, DEATH
Mourning. I mourn
my loss of belief
in the world
as I believed
it to be.
Instead my planet
is in danger.
Poetry of loss and grief,
and the recognition of evil -
a cabal against this planet,
Poems - words - what can words say.
Requiem for a loss,
a terrible loss.
