While at my cousin's funeral reception I was introduced to a gentleman who when he heard I was a writer told me he had a poem he wrote years ago when the cold war was at it's hight and he wanted me to have it...he then proceeded to write this down for my on a napkin. It gives me great pleasure to share it with you all.

Life


By: Thomas Reginald Lee


 


Who has seen the wind


Who has stilled the waters sigh


Who has moved the mountains?


That stood forever high


 


Who has killed the sunshine


That gave us beautiful sunrays


Where are all the people


With their ever changing ways


 


Where are all the animals


The wild, the free and the tame


I think you know the answer


I think you feel the shame


 


Where are the men that ran our world
where are the women that were our wives
I’ll tell you but it’s not easy to say


They’ve all lost their lives


 


So before you make your decisions


That will make the very Heavens shake


Think of all the lives that will be lost


In the event of a Nuclear wake…

This poem is POWERFUL! It may have been written during the cold war, but its statement is still frightful commentary on what is happening today. The world no longer existing as we know it. When's all the stupidity going to stop? Enough!

Fee,
This is so felt in my core. I was as yourself, brought up during this time..It was something I have always feared a nuclear attack..You know, though, "those" people have found a new way to scare us, and the new way is much more deadly....
Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber "V"
ps, thank you Thomas Reginald Lee for you wonderfully penned poetry!

The dreaded scenario of an ever changing world.
We don't give a loaded pistol to a monkey, do we?
The day is coming when a "damn the torpedos" crazy man send us all flying into the cosmos in little pieces, and for what?
Tremendous poem.
