Into my box I’d put all the darknesses -The dread of a young child calling for the lightThe resentment gnawing the spurned lovers’ soulsThe sink hole of depressionThe void left by a child’s deathThe shadows hiding the stalkers and trolls.Into my box I’d put all the darknesses -The endless cycles of starvation and droughtThe chasm of economic disparityThe scourge of malariaThe catastrophe of choleraThe deprivation of spiralling poverty.Into my box I’d put all the darknesses -The silhouette of the unacknowledged trudging to EuropeThe monstrous acts ofmad dictators, and the callousness of couch potatoesThe scab on the surface of humanitythat trade in arms to kill instead of arms to love.Into my box I’d put all the darknesses -Then bind it tight in manacles and chainsand crush the only keySo guaranteeing no possibilityof ever opening up this dead man’s chestI’d toss it far into the cosmic well of universal unacceptability.17thSeptember 2016© Sheila Ash 2016ashramblings
