Extremes grow ever greater.

Displaced

Embittered by cold
Tragic

Aura of fire
Kindling stacked
Crosses borne

Scimitar sky
Deity’s thumbnail

Host of empathy
Trust
Self respect
Loss, loss

A time of hunger
Tented cities

Our comfort
Can’t be scalpeled

Fear, fear
Hope, hope
A band-aid
Ripped off

Refugees
Our legacy
From tyrant mad
Drunk on power

Craters of schools
Homes
Commerce
Running, running

As here
The few fortunate
The starved poor

Like so many dictators
Shooting their way
Into palaces
Where justice has no meaning
Everything is rigged

Landfills of suffering grow

Such Truth in this......

"Like so many dictators
Shooting their way
Into palaces
Where justice has no meaning
Everything is rigged"

Perfectly written. Today someone told me that under ObamaCare that if a person is 74 they can't get it and also, that if a person at that age were to develop cancer, have a heart attack, etc. They are not to be treated. I would call that "Legal Genocide". But again, that is hearsay. So I need to research it myself. The person who cuts hair, forgot what their title is, so I really need to do my research to find out the truth.

Like a history of a species' demise, the montage goes on, giving little time for a full fledged scene, let alone a sequence, or experience to fully play out. The rapid-fire style of images and impressions leaves little to wonder about.

The dictator always gets his do, while sucking the well being of all in his grasp. So many have lost all they had or even their lives. It's happening right now in Syria, and in other places unnoticed, like Ethiopia...

I can go there, and I do.
But I also find oasis.
I'm spending way more time in oasis now.

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
