Being Alone In a World Full of People (Revised)

How can we still be

Quarantined spiritually and socially

With some many people

On the planet

As time runs rapid

Our personal history

As individuals

Will become evident

While the plight

For our lives

Remains a present open book

That is unfolding

Day in and day out

It's something that's interesting to think about

When there's a universal common link

Everyone can engage in

It's called a friendly conversation

Yet nowadays

Its stock

Has dropped

Due to people

Not believing that everyone

Is equal

In their own eyes

More and more people

Are becoming superficial beings

For popularity reasons

Throughout the course of our present time

In this game called life

An engaging write. I think we have a generation that has lost an ability to communicate on a basic level, and are not taught to engage in meaningful debate on subjects that affect their future. I have a child that suffers from great anxiety and one of her biggest complaints is that her peers do not know how to communicate and her teachers/staff that she engages with daily are ill equipped to discuss a wide variety of topics. She is concerned about the future that she and her generation are inheriting. I wish there were more parents that were actively engaged in world affairs to help prepare their children spiritually, politically, and practically for the future. This is not covered in our schools, but more importantly parents need to prepare their children. It is an ugly world in many regards, and not getting better from where I sit.

I really liked this poem BP, but I have to be honest and say that the format or arrangement did nothing to enhance your words. It felt rather disjointed and choppy when I read it. May I suggest that you try play with the formatting a bit, and see if you can make it read more fluidly?
