When not ‘tuning-in’ to other’s plights,
We’ll ‘face the music’ of our pride.
Vain afflictions spawn new “rights”,
When not ‘tuning-in’ to other’s plights.
Selfishness of hasty fights
All soberness denied.
When not ‘tuning-in’ to other’s plights,
We’ll ‘face the music’ of our pride.
44-words

Well done!
Thanks, Linda! 😊
You’re very welcome.
Repeated lines give this a lyrical quality. Much enjoyed.
😊 I’m pleased you liked it. Thank-you!
Nicely done quadrille and triolet combination.
Thanks for commenting! 😊
Sadly you are right, Susan. The overload of world events is overwhelming at times. Well done.
Thanks. 😊😢
You are welcome!
You’re so right, Susan… An excellent poem…

David,
Thanks! ❤
You’ve made very effective use of rhyme and repetition in this quadrille, Susan. And I agree with the sentiment.
The rhyme scheme is particularly effective here.
Thank-you for your valued comment. 😀
Strong piece Susan very well written in to an important point as well.🙂✌🏼❣️
What an interesting and gutsy poem, Susan. It sends the message — loud and clear.
Why thank-you, Bill. I find gutsy especially flattering!

I don’t understand the modern lack of fellow feeling, or at least “live and let live.” It saddens me.

I think it comes from so many feeling aggrieved (not all for good reason) that they assume no one else has troubles. Thanks for commenting!
I think we have problems ever walking in another man’s shoes, there are simply too many different shoes to choose from
The first ‘step’ is acknowledging that our troubles aren’t necessarily the worst or only ones. 😊
Thank-you, Bjorn.
The rhyme adds to the musical feel ❤
🎶 Thanks!
