Pathos Literary Magazine is pleased to announce we will be publishing online all the poetry and art that could not make it into printed versions — creating an online art gallery! We receive so many great submissions, we often don’t have enough pages in our mag to print every piece – even those we love. Now, we can publish even more, online! Thank you to the artists who agreed to online publishing. Stay tuned for more posts of unpublished submissions!

In the End
by Abbas Habibi
Old rusty unused train tracks
Where few wander to now
And pact inner city subways
Will all be empty in the end
The busy bars where so many go
To fight to laugh and to cry
And many venture to drown sorrow
It will all be empty in the end
The libraries home of many tomes
No hand will reach to read them
No one roaming the isles
All silent in the end
Natural scenery rushing waterfalls
None left to view them
Their beauty no longer admired
No one is left in the end
The fierce back and forth
Arguments and wars of men
Petty emotions unnecessary pain
Will all come to an end in the end
Nature will have its day in the sun
Unleashing its force against all
Mother Earth’s healing will begin
No one is left to hurt her in the end

Untitled
by Rachel Woods
Shades of red,
At a distance of time.
As I lay there,
In a meditative state.
Slowly going into a dream,
That I never dreamt before.
The past creeps up,
So fast.
Trying to wake up,
But don’t want to.
So many memories,
I had.
Some bad ones,
To make me think.
That I survived it all,
Through hell and back.
I moved on,
With life.
Indeed,
I am a survivor.
