Let’s Put An End To This

It starts faintly, barely a whisper
quietly expressing our displeasure
why can’t we put an end to this?

Self interested power plays
going on for years not days
maybe there’s an end to this

Conversations occurring daily
bad actions without repercussions
waiting for an end to this

The guilty show no remorse
still goes on and getting worse
longing for an end to this

Frustration knows no bounds
greed and hunger running rampant
begging for an end to this

SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS NOW
HUMAN HATE A MORTAL SIN
WE HAVE TO PUT AN END TO THIS

Linked to dVerse — Meeting The Bar: To turn again, about turn again, where Laura has challenged us to write a poem using epiphora (repetition) .

Epiphora, from the Greek ‘to turn about/upon’, is a stylistic device in which a word or a phrase is repeated at the ends of successive clauses:

• To drive home a point
• To make the words “catchy” or memorable
• To express a deeply held belief
• To convey strong emotion
• To create a regular rhyme scheme
