When?



When will we truly find freedom?
When will we finally be at peace?
When will there be no more war and violence?
Are these questions some that strike fear?

When will there be a world of no trauma?
When will all be able to live without judgement?
When can there true happiness inside us all?
Can any of these be completed?

When will people wake up?
When will people be able to feel centered?
When will people find a way on their own?
If these are asked, will I be exonerated?

When will there be the answers?…

By Zay da Mediator

    This feels like an age old appeal to the Gods for relief from a world that is often to difficult.

    It would be nice, unfortunately I don't see that ever happening. Perhaps some of it will but there'll always be a threat somewhere.

    I'll answer. Never and always. Life has balance and without one you cannot have the other. This poem is a fun way to provoke thought, however!
