In times of trouble, when all seems lost <br />& no good outcome can be found, <br />our beings are shaken, emotions tossed <br />& our own feet can't hold the ground, <br /> <br />when all words & voices fail <br />& nothing can be said or done, <br />we must surrender, not loose a hail <br />of curses, spew anger at the Sun <br /> <br />& Moon or all the planets & attendant Gods. <br />This process is always hard to do <br />but we must strive against all odds <br />for in reflection later we might rue <br /> <br />words uttered in futility & in haste: <br />our spirits wounded; our humanity laid waste. <br /> <br />(Copyright 4/3/2006)<br /><br />Hugh Cobb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-all-words-voices-fail/
