Our souls are dying;
As they claim to heal.
We are lost in the shadows,
No light shines in our world.
We hunger for the human touch,
We look for the human soul.
But our blindness had killed us.
There are no angels in this desolate world.
It is a prison, a cell for the dead;
A bottomless hole.
No principles stand.
How long can we hold on?
How long can we survive?
We reach out for warmth,
To be burned by ashes.

I get the impression that you are not talking about the best of all possible worlds!:)
Sometimes even a silver lining shows a thick coating of verdigris.It can be a grim world.

Wrong. This world is not just as you imagine and this is different than your perception. There are both good happenings and bad ones and do not be so pessimistic. There are not always cloudy days, days of sunshine too.

oh, i agree. there are days of sunshine, but they are becoming fewer and fewer. and i'm not talking of right now. i wrote this poem like this was someone writing from the future to us, like a warning.

We look for the human soul.
you are right.. but it so damn hard to find it! and it's not our blindness that is guilty..
But our blindness had killed us.
maybe, our souls had killed themselves? a kind of suicide. self-destruction...
There are no angels in this desolate world.
there are angels, but they are different now. they also cry, they suffer, they can help us, but sometimes they may not know what is right or what is wrong...

hmmm.... i see what you mean concerning the angels. what about...
There seems to be no angels in this desalite world.
and self-destruction sounds more correct... hmmm...
But our core has killed us.
