Conflict

More “Blind thoughts” with no resulting conclusions. Is it "sunrise" or is it "sunset?" Does it matter?


 

CONFLICT
 
Who's measuring?
 
The sun rises on another day,
 
change is slow to come.
 
Try as we will,
will we ever get it right?
 
And if so,
who will determine that right?
 
Who do we believe?
Who sets the standard?
 
Who do we trust?
Who do we shoot?
 
To whom do we offer comfort?
 
When is enough, enough?
When is it too much?
 
 
And as the sun sets on another day
again I ask,,,,,
 
WHO’S MEASURING?
