Peace is in an Upside-Down Mode…

Poem Artwork

Maybe our leaders don’t notice,

But our world is reversed,

When we should be ‘suffering’ from too much,

We are instead being given too little…

 

Though we still have war a’plenty,

Don’t have to look too away far,

To find even an infinitesimal fight,

Too much of too little & fights ensue at the local bar…

 

Everyone needs to see that we are on a brink,

I don’t know what anyone else does think,

But if we don’t find some peace very soon,

We may be finding at our front door,

A fully armed & ready to kill military platoon…

I love the photo inignia. How was your 4th, mine was very peaceful, I stayed in my apt all day, did not even go around people at all. That is the way I wanted it. Peaceful for once.
