An Empty World That’s Fraught

As I try to comprehend the human heart, it only appears as a veiled vision  trapped in the shadows of tunneled thought. My confusion circles all tension  to beg this earth’s great minds to seek treatment –  treatment to fit their  justification of twisted deeds, justification rooted in the ways of greed,  the ways of hypocrisy and bloodshed.  These are the days when brother love is out of step, vanished from the shelves  of knowing how a pulse can pound a globe so wild, as to surge beyond being its  brother’s keeper, until now – as mankind gorges on inhumanity – in this the  greatest theater of mayhem to ever claw the human spirit. It crowds a world that  for so long has flown flags from church steeples, but is fast becoming desperate.
