Watching the heavy rains
outside my stained window, realize the sky is not the only one with sadness. My own heart is crying tonight, tears from discovering my elders from yesteryear, that always preached the right thing, have let all of us down. Have always been told how good we are as humans, taking care of one another, holding hands, protecting all. Tonight, my body shakes in grief. The words were all lies. Mind is full of confusion, learning how sinister and, at times, still are through the denial f wrongdoing. Saddens my soul, the elders preaching how they and we are good. All along they knew where the bodies of the young were buried while pleading innocence. Everything, everyone I have believed. I am now questioning this night what is the truth, what is a lie? All of it heavy on the heart that cannot stop crying tonight. July 10, 2021 @Andrew Scott – Just a Maritime Boy 2021

Wow, amazing poem, Andy! Yes, it is hard to take and very sad when our elders we trusted and find out they lied to us. That is heartbreaking! If we can't trust our elders, then who can we trust? It is very sad! Well written, Andy! Keep on writing! Thank you very much for sharing your poem with us!
