Where

Political

Where is the love
Where is your heart
Where is your humanity
Where have you gone

Where is your mind
Where is your soul
Where will you go

Where is your spine
Will you leave it all behind
Have you turned your back on your kind
Are you caught in there binds

Where is the fight
Have you lost sight
Are you lost in the night

Where is your strength
Have you slipped away
Have you gone insane
Where has the love gone these days

Written when true love was lost with only questions left behind maybe question never to be answered for the Man has walk the thin line between Love and hate Just maybe he will come back before its to late. Well written poem Jackie.

See now I like it. It's got a great structure. The "where'"s don't sound jarring even after those repetitions. I must say I read the tag Political and I wondered if it's about the recent presidential elections taking place. But then I think not, i am not sure. So this is what I took from it. This is a cry at all those people who have lost sight about their surroundings. Just too self absorbed in trying to only think about their own success and careers and what not. And to achieve it they might go to any lengths. For me this poem screamed truth and honesty and to a certain extent a way of venting frustration. I liked it for it is really powerful and strike a chord. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! Thank you thank you for your time and much detail of this. Even after 3 times couldn't thank you enough. I really do appreciate your time and your words. Gives me strength to pursue my writings

Oh don worry feel free to write ^^ I will read them any time I like what you wrote I will be peeking at some of your other writes soon and share my views on it ^^

Ive written quite a bit of political stuff and still do. My muses are usually political stuff or personal stuff. Although lately been writing some more creative stuff as well.

[Érenn]

You see the fact is you can be creative even with the simplest of stuff I can assure you of that. Why don't you give my new poem You Again.. a read? You will understand just what I am gunning at. And don't worry I read anything as long as I find it interesting and there's heart in the write that's all that ever matters to me ^^

[Jackie]

I'll go ahead and check that out. See typically I write what I "feel" and if I'm not feeling something like stress from personal or political stuff than I'm not much creative. Although sometimes I'll look back another time on an unfinished project and play with the words. I get writers block a lot, or have recently. And its most frustrating because there so much to express and the mind has to be a mysterious yet picky rhing

[Érenn]

I can definitely understand that being tough on you but it's all right they eventually go away ^^

[Jackie]

Yep. It does come and go so this is true
