You've locked my heart into a choking, hurting little thing now... But you know what? Thanks... I was lost, out of touch with feeling anything... Thanks for cutting through the layers of my exhaustion and anger, and replacing the negatives with gentle tears for humanity. I know I'm incoherent - but maybe, your river just overflowed its banks. Maybe, just maybe.

Yes Kathy. There are more people across the globe silently suffering more than what we could imagine. It seems the phylosophy 'Fill what is empty and empty what is filled' is no more valid.
Excellent piece!

There is no time for tears-
only fears...
There is no chance to grieve-
only grief...
There is no semblance of pity-
only torture...
There no room for dignity-
only humiliation...
There no way to protest-
only bare up...
There no balm for healing-
only the pain, the helpless feeling!

Those who suffer go on suffering...

(((Hugs for that compassionate write, Kathy))))
Love, Zoya

hi there Katherine this is so true

often the tears wruoght by love unbridled come dry after a while
yet catch in the dry throat and churn the stomach if love unrequited it be

but in love reciprocated the tears flow with joy and the stomach becomes a rippling flight of butterflies

a beautiful poem well done rgds mike

very touching piece here, as tears show pain, they also bring joy to the ones who make them and the ones who dries them away!!!

This truely is a heart tugger. I just watched a tear provoking special about the secret lives of the orphaned, forgotten, street children in North Korea. This is so applicable to those lost little ones. They picked garbage off the muddy streets and ate it. When shoo'd away like vermin, their blank eyes held no tears, they just wandered off. This is perfect to describe that situation and how I felt.

Tears are a cleansing force in our lives Kathy.
Yes, it is those who cannot cry that we should feel pity.
Beautifully spoken sentiment.
