IN A WORLD SO FULL OF
UNFEELING
Taken from the anthology ‘Warrior
Women’

In
a world so full of unfeeling
Disconnected,
rejected
Fraught,
distraught
Uncaring,
despairing
Dispassionate,
impassionate
Emotionless
Couldn’t
care less
Detached,
miss-matched
Disjointed,
misappropriated
Who
cares? Who dares?
Is
this the world and its state and stature?
Could
we change it? Can we change it?
Would
you change it?
But
where does the beginning begin?
Me,
you or them
When
does it happen the coming together?
As
one with feeling, compassion
Jointed,
joined enjoyed
That
glorious feeling of being together
As
family, friends, companions, colleagues
Working
together as one
Grasping
those feelings
Wondrous,
marvellous never to be disjointed ever again
