Good late evening everyone! This is Friday Night Poetry Corner and this evening a promise I will finish up the poem I teased last week. Much respects to Ms. Vee (who is also a phenomenal writer) for her guess of the next line from my opening. So—
Let’s finish this up…
Voidness (If I could)
If I could
see the edge
of humanity
as it stood apart
from me
much love for those
who strive for good
the innocent
is left alone,
to fight the war
against–
evil, apart from known
reality.
my friends, I
asked you to remember
me as a person
who did a job
even though it
cost me
everything, everything to a 211 call,
from a 187 verdict.
I ask for mercy
my God, If i could
see my loved ones.
the river of Styx
drown my hopes,
faith from every returning
home.
who am i today?
who am i tomorrow?
who am i forever?
a statistic.
-K.G. Bethlehem
(If you haven’t figured it out, this poem is part of a trilogy of poetry. It is kinda hard to just be a standalone poem, so if you want to check out the first poem of the trilogy right HERE! Follow the progression in which “voidness” is the two-part joint followed by the conclusion).
