Hands are all empty
Eyes are all blind
Stomachs are all empty
But it’s alright
Lands are all barren
Seas are all dry
Nights are all longer
But it’s alright
Rich are all richer
Poor are all dead
Men are all wicked
But it’s alright
Angels are all lost
Heavens are all shut
Gods are all hiding
But it’s alright
Tongues are all broken
Hands are all blazin’
Hands are all empty
But it’s alright
Hands Are All Empty
That’s so beautifully written, Frank.

I am amazed with you blog and writing and have starred all your poems and will continue.
I am an aspiring poet and started writing a while ago and need suggestions. I have my blog so it will be great if you can take a look and share it.
