What, I wonder
becomes of he who reaps
where he does not sow?
is the fruit of his (non) labour sweet?
do the juices flow down deep?How, I wonder
can such a person sleep?
are his dreams of meadows?
is his soul untainted by sorrow?
does his not dream of tomorrow?Who, I wonder
can this person really be?
without a niche of shame within?
without fear and immune to sin?
searching nooks and crannies to reap

Yes, what strength, humility, integrity is in a soul that merely reaps from the labor (sowing) of other?.

I, too, wonder… how the soulless walk around pretending are alive. I also wonder why the rest of the world is not sicken by their stink.

I wonder the same… almost everyone I know want to do their best…. but somewhere there are those who are like ticks and leaches… and the grow fat on blood of others.

there can be neither darkness without light, nor light without darkness … and so there are the ones who wander and feed – preying – but perhaps a day/time will come when praying will become their undoing for all undone? and who will hear them then?
hard questions for the caring and compassionate to digest and accept –
lovely write Viv 🙂

had to question if I was not one since I do not labour in the fields – only the gardens of others
