Great entry for the contest, author. Yes, our human condition is in pretty bad shape lately. Problem is, I cannot fathom any middle ground being used by the masses. This stanza is very telling, my friend:
"From man's beginnings to the
final fall of humanity,
they all have the same human stain
brought about by their thirst
for money, power, and control"
God bless you and good luck. : ) Bob

Comment from royowen
It's funny how one work confirms a mutual of awakening hope when all seems lost. The poem I wrote this morning gives the light to what comes from a dark night, is the dawn of a newness that can come. I don't know how the holocaust victims saw things, but I do know light still dawned in some. This is profoundly and beautifully written my friend, a great entry in this contest, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello my friend
Great entry for the Free-style poem: human suffering writing prompt contest.
Lengthy poem about human suffering. I would go back and get rid of the superfluous. I found my mind wondering. It's hard to follow but you do have an important message. Buddha said life is suffering. Well done.

Gypsy, thanks but this was spewing from the depths of beyond my conscious mind at 3AM. I appreciate your comments however.
Comment from June Sargent
You have successfully captured the essence of human suffering in this free verse. It's a story that has repeated itself throughout history right from the Garden of Eden down to this morning's breaking news. Man's inhumanity towards man. With broken moral compasses the leaders can fix nothing. We need to follow our God-given conscience and take a stand. And keep that pearl of great value - hope - in our hearts.

June, I am grateful that first you plowed through this whole free verse, I was just caught in a mindless period at 3AM and went at this. I thank you for such a strong validation.
Comment from ElPoetry001
You have been given the message and followed its directions. " As it has been said so it shall be written."__
Now, we must redirect the passions of mankind and control the insatiable addiction to the dais of power, wealth, adulation, dictatorship.
You observations are haunting in their outline of a history that has been corrupted from Nature to control.
History has shown that mankind has a Phoenix gene that can be restarted with prayers and good works.
The narrative of the anarchists must be overwritten by the message of the "whirlwind," so all will know about the negatives that will be reaped
by those who have sowed the whirlwind.
Please continue to write the message. The anarchists have bones, they cannot stand, they can only "lie."

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written free-style poem about the human race who suffer more than any other creature because we have our own free will, we often make choices that hurt ourselves more than anything else

Sandrs, thank you so much, I realize I spewed a lot forth but is came from beyond my mind --from the heart no stopping it as it unfolded.
Comment from jaded831
Wow, you said it all. You are so right, people have been inflicting pain and intolerance throughout history. Focusing on prayer and faith gives people hope. I believe in tomorrow for our country. Life is survival.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You certainly brought out the worst in human nature here in your epic write about suffering and just now there seems to be much to write about in this department. There is hope for us as the majority of people are good and kind, love Dolly x

Melodie, thank you! Thank goodness there are more good people than otherwise.

There are but they are few and far between which gives you a false sense that there aren't many left, which is also true;-)
Comment from Oscar J. Perez
You said it all. With what we've gone through and our going through. History revolves to repeat itself until we evolve to see ourselves grow into Hope! Like you said in your last lines. You're awesome and this poem was incredibly well thought out and out together.
