PROMPT #144

In this week, I invite you to explore a single word

BREAKTHROUGH

What does it mean to you? Have you experienced it before? How do you expect it to happen?

~*~

We are all waiting for a medical breakthrough!

They, the scientists will tell us triumphantly that a cure for this new disease has been discovered. Or a preventative vaccine has been developed. Now it will be safe to live our lives as we did previously.

But till that happens, and it will, I have no doubt, we need to set a few things straight.

• Prevention is always better than a cure

• If by using a bit of common sense we can avoid pain and misery, then…

To What End

To what end …. by Susi Bocks

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

neglected
by the protectors
in charge
i’ll struggle

surrounded
by the horrors
the world has to offer
i’ll fight

living
by the sword
most of my days
i’ll wither

broken
by this life
and dysfunction
i’ll breakthrough

“Behind every beautiful thing,
there’s some kind of pain.”
