Analysis of Regret
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Regret and condemnation,
circulate in the mind,
propagating themselves,
making more of their kind.
Images replicate,
demanding ever more attention,
starving life of love,
and any new potential,
A small act of kindness
can cast all this flimsy to the wind.
dispelling gloom,
allowing room for beauty to attend,
and see the glory in our strivings.
for the shining light of dignity,
the hope inside humanity,
the naked courage of the good.
