A SIMPLE ACROSTIC
Hugely appreciated and
Universally valued when
Genuinely expressed and
Shared slowly between two
Gold coins, silver, diamonds
Over-esteemed, so say I
Arid … Meantime all these souls
Neglected, disregarded, crossing
Deserts alone, dying of drought
Deep dark dank oubliettes, shackled to walls
Old fears and hungers binding us fast
Likely seems it’s we hamstring ourselves
Imitating care with taut taught gestures
Kisses on proffered mouths or cheeks
Evasive tactics, light flirtations, small talk
Worrywarts avoiding any need of need
I ended up imprisoned as did you
Solitary observers, unknown, disunderstood
Everywhere so let us welcome them then
Hugely appreciated and
Universally valued when
Genuinely expressed and
Shared slowly between two

Thank you, Betty, Sadly it seems the message of the parable of the Good Samaritan passes by far too many folk these days. 😦 Just a little reminder.

And a good one. Most people don’t want to get involved, these days. And many are so self-involved they aren’t sensitive to the needs of others. Thankfully there are many who ARE aware though. 🙂
