Poem -
21st Century Survival Kit
She trod the road with a few
By her side
No map, no guide
No destination in mind
Chaos,Despair and Apathy
Each a distinct demeanour,
This World; the perfect neighbourhood
To raise them
With every cue
They grew
“A treacherous lot”
Were the whispers aloud
Three’s a bunch, they said
Wait till the fourth is born
Indifferent she continued,
Unapologetic her ways
Imagination kept her company
Reality reeked of jealousy
Soon came the daunting hour
The nest, empty thereafter
Somewhere at a distance,
Loneliness wailed its first cry
Immune by now
She knew just the tone
To put it to sleep,
All by herself
All alone.

Great poem Jay, "imagination kept her company". Brilliant line, I love it, imagination I'm sure keeps us all company at some time or another. Welcome to cosmo.
Exactly. Especially when your mind has nowhere else to wander off to. Thanks for appreciating the work!

Hello, Jaybird and welcome to Cosmo.
Excellent poetic social commentary.
My Grandma Cook always used to say, "Folks need to sweep the dirt off of their own back porch before they go pointin' out how dirty someone else's is."
I'm not entirely sure what she meant by that (I never took the time to ask), but I believe she meant that people should mind their own business and not go around gossiping.
Again, well penned.
Enjoy your time here.
