Wow Michael. This really touched my heart.
I feel like the world itself has not much changed it is the people making it a rather unsafe place. Crimes of any kind are on the rise and even authorities can't stop it. We have to forgive and keep on praying. Excellent written and added to my favorite.

It means a lot to me thank you

Judging comment:

I like the great wisdom and message behind this poem, direct words, smooth flow and resonant tone, in this mad world perfection is an illusion indeed. Very neat writing.
