poetry by j matthew waters

lost compassion


why do you feel this way
sister of the angels
after fleeing from the crowd
and back to the apparent safety
of the underground

what madness is your method
looking the other way
second guessing your beliefs
escaping all on your own
not once looking back

for those left behind
trapped inside the crosshairs
who will lead the charge
delivering them to safety
now that you remain at large





march two thousand twenty-four
