Today’s word is “philippic” ... any speech or discourse of bitter denunciation. (Dictionary.com)
Sad
Too many philippics,
Sounding in the air,
Filling all the corners,
With cries that life’s “unfair.”
Someone’s rights are trampled,
Someone’s feelings bruised,
Somebody’s unhappy,
Feeling hurt and used
Instead of recognizing,
Dangers lurk around us all,
And that every person,
Is victim of the fall,
We scream at one another,
For some form of redress,
Why is most confusing,
And anybody’s guess.
We can see it happening,
And the weight of its great measure,
When each of us to each could be,
Our greatest, dearest treasure.
