I don't know... I just really wrote this as it came, maybe I'll revise it later. But this is it for now, I hope you like it.


Misery Seeks Company

Misery seeks company,
when one falls in a hole
and cries out for another,

and the cries take their toll
on those above the depth
of the misery the fallen has

yet they jump down
into the pit of sorrow
despite the foolish move

and when it starts to rain
the hole of the fallen stirs
as the many fallen writhe

wanting to be heard
and as they writhe more join
and they grope for freedom as they drown

but the drowning doesn't end,
theres no dying in the hole
because death leads to misery

and so more come in place
and more drown as they struggle
to be free of their torment

but only the few get through,
climb all through the fallen
up out of the hole...

but then,
too late.
the damage is done.
the dead piled up for the ladder.

Every time I read it, in my head I see something different each time.
You left enough open for imagination but the message is still understood and the story and actions are still seen.

Bravo!
That was well said.
Writing it as it comes or surges from deep within the writing self is usually the best way to go. After which the sometimes arduous task of revision. But that's for later.... some time much later.

How old are you?!! My goodness the wisdom of this poem is amazing. Not only that, the visuals are outstanding. The moral of the story????? What is the result when we wallow in the misery of others in the guise of helping? More misery I'd say.
Good write. Kathy
