Now, more than at any other time
the sad and the depressed
will go unnoticed
the signs will get lost
in the pretences
and the requirement of the times
to be jolly and merry always
no matter what you feel inside
If at all an SOS is actually given
none can guage it and respond
as they are either too busy
or untrained for the task
they only become alert and aware
when it's too late
over the dead bodies....

The weak are being eliminated. Social Darwinism rules the roost.
ReplyDeleteWe are indeed too busy with our lives. Sometimes we don't want to hear the cries to keep our happy bubble intact. Nice piece!
