Dear there,
I hope this finds you well. Please, see below my poem. I do hope you will like it.
A tale of a heart so imbued with fear;
Of a soul so infused with grief;
Yet, of a body so permeated with twinge.
A tale
Of man’s dreams slain by hatred;
Of endless sighs born with revulsion.
A tale
Of humanity divided against itself:
A black Majority that decided to be
A hushed and spineless eye-witness,
A plucky Minority that decided to decide
On who lives and who dies.

A hushed and spineless eye-witness,
A plucky Minority that decided to decide
On who lives and who dies.

"A tale of man's dreams slain by hatred" is one of the intrinsic lines from Harith Ismaiel Turki's summation; a poem that laments a world where 'the silent majority is being controlled and dominated by an aggressive minority "that decided to decide on who lives and who dies." An excellent 'bard's eye view' of the situation coming from the outside looking in. Thank You, Harith for your wonderful submission!
