Excellent Inner turmoil and Distress at injustice by Wendy G      Feelings Poetry Contest Winner

When I hear of such horrid things - As hatred with its bitter stings Or cruelty, vile and without reason And greed and theft, even in this season -                     # I wrestle greatly with my thoughts For most don’t go before the courts Yet justice will come; such people will be Judged and punished eventually.                     # But I do get angry, upset and mad For those who are abused or used, or sad Often they’re rejected, have no voice These ones are bereft, without a choice.                     # Why strike at weaker ones who can’t defend Can’t respond, and will never mend From acts of bullying, terror, or spite? Their lives are just one dreadful blight.                    # Neglected animals too, with love never offered Are left to starve, no care ever proffered Such issues as these cause me to feel Angry inside, with such distress I can’t deal.                     # Helpless I feel, too small and too weak To make a difference, yet I must speak, Stand up for right, even if I’m alone -  And take on the bullies, not sit back and moan.
