Because it seemed appropriate
Again there was no warning As huddled in our shell We turned our eyes towards the skies To take the fear away. Those we trust and those we hate Though ill-will we have none Move us left and move us right To pass the time away. Fires burn within us As fierce as those without For futures stolen from us And childhood stole away. Your barren desert trophy Reward for what you sow The rape of all your greed can see Can't take our hope away.
Nice poetry !
Thank you for reading.
May fear recede and hope triumph in the face of dire events, but one glance at the news makes optimism hard to find.
You echo my thoughts exactly Chris. Thank you for this.

deeply moving. Right or wrong I found my thoughts moving towards Ukraine !!
Absolutely, and yet sadly there are far too many situations like this around the globe. Glad this moved you and thank you.
That sums it up and captures things of our day Chris.
Thank you, Bruce. Sad but true…but we have to remain strong and hopeful.
A very haunting and powerful tribute to the current climate crisis. Beautifully described, Chris!
Thanks, Tom, glad it hit home.
