Neglect
by Michael R. Burch
What good are your tears?
They will not spare the dying their anguish.
What good is your concern
to a child sick of living, waiting to perish?

The Tear of the Archangel Michael
by drake brown
Michael turned down to look upon the faces of humanity, stricken with grief.
For he saw not only the man, but the woman, the daughter.
Flowing and dancing in the waist high grass that dances alongside her, as much stars as she is the earth. Unaware of what she is dancing into.
The brother, his eyes scrunched together imitating the anxieties of society as he focuses on the task of good and evil. He must prevail, he has seen what happens to men when they fail.
The mother, looks up from her book to see her children no longer around her in love. Feeling the sudden heartbreak she always ran away from.
The father, pulled out his own eyes long ago, stumbling blind for years because he was made powerless by a world he doesn’t understand.
# The Sun and the Night
The sun, who continuously pours out all the light it has, is a continuous shining beacon for all.

Shooting Star
by Christopher Isabelle
I shall travel to the ends of this Earth,.
To find you the greatest gift of all.
To bestow upon you opulence,.
Of which even great leaders lack.
To satiate your curiosities,.
For which no further literature is required.
To be the usher of jubilation,.
Of which only the innocence of youth behold.
Nay, for I shall give you the greatest gift of all,.
My shooting star.

See And Hear
by Yoko Fushigina
The grief is force to get us stronger.
Mistake is means by which we rise.
The pain you take endures no longer
Than hatred, bullying and despise.
Those things cannot be vindicated.
Wrongdoing's wrong no matter what.
But some of cruel thoughts are valid,
They're meant to be misunderstood.
To overcome the ones who fret you

Reason Is Not Enough
by Richard Randolph
What people call reason
is usually nothing more than a weapon
they wield to justify their prejudices.
I have seen otherwise kind people
cut a friend to ribbons with cold logic
and then smile at the carnage,
forgetting that pride is one of the
seven deadly sins.
But meaningful thought requires much more:
