Lost to History
I am feeling
shock,
outrage,
anger,
hurt,
pain,
emptiness,
helplessness
and frustration
all at the same time.
What is the cause for all
these emotions of mine?
Like when a fence cuts off a trail,
and I must make an unwanted turn;
Like when one of my cats goes outside,
but does not return;
The profile and poems of a poet were deleted,
every single line;
But there was no warning,
reason or rhyme.
So many wonderful things
the world will never again see;
Sadly, they all have been
lost to history.
