Poem -
Betwixt And Between
Betwixt and between
Sadness and mirth
Happy but sad
For dear Mother Earth
Feeling sorry for
Adding to the mess
Not really aware
Of my part, I confess
Betwixt and between
Feel guilty at times
Having so much
While others are crying
The worldwide problem
Of hunger and disease
Is difficult to remedy
Near impossible to ease
Betwixt and between
I sit here and cry
'Bout the inequality
Don't understand why
Do we throw up our hands
Say nothing can be done
Go on and forget it
Just enjoying the sun
Betwixt and between
Filled with sadness and love
Gotta keep on trying

Hello Jack...
I often wonder if there's reincarnation especially for those who are born to live and learn...
Living several lifetimes, we could be reborn to the street and field...
Clotheless, Shoeless, Starving, abandoned and being a 12 year old girl who's forbidden to get an education and forced to marry a 50 year old man and have his baby, or raped and beaten on a daily basis...
How we live now may depend on where we live later?
I noticed you put it under comedy...
I suppose for some it could be funny...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Hey JACK!!....I REALLY like this write!!..... it is VERY contagious.... the kind of write that sticks in the forefront of the mind because of the repetition and the quixotic movement of the rhyme scheme.... it almost sings..... and has such a smorgasbord of relevant little insights!!......ALL STARS!!...... well done dear poet brother!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo
WOWSERS! Thanks, brother!!! Very kind words dear Tony!!! Once in a while, something clicks and stuff pops out! Can't take full credit!!! Love, Jack xx
