A lot of truth in this very well penned mirror of this world.

Excellent commentary in poetic format on the state of our earth. The abuse of many centuries is showing, but I believe like the Eskimoes when scientists say it is global warming, the Eskimoes say it is the "thousand-year cycle." Tracing it all back in history, it all resonates. Earth is tired and worn. Time for changes and tattoo would say to Roarke, "de plane, de plane, smiles everyone!"
Fantasy Island will return!

You've covered a lot of ground herein Peter.
A timely, resonate write; shit has already begun to hit the fan indeed--- and amazingly, too many people STILL don't get it...
Very well done. Now rest; go take a nature walk while you still can.
Peace,
Carolyn

Yes indeed, the shit certainly has hit the fan, unfortunately it seems to be blinding most, thankfully there are those of us who wear goggles lol. Right up my dark and doom laden street Peter.

Isn't it amazing how all poets here seem to have the same foreboding call for change or doom?

You wrote the facts and we need to listen.

the organs of organised religion
has set man apart from man
and our leaders and guides
are as corrupt and deviant as hell

I sadly believe that all of the above is true, Peter, and I truly wonder what our very grim future now holds.

The Poet has depicted the obeservation of his eyes, and described what was heard and listened by his ears... This is a glowing composition to stand and witness the century and make history for the millennia.

To show my appreciation for the "Eve of Destruction" I will light a candle of admiration by the author's PEDESTAL AT THE BASILICA OF THE SUBLIME POETS IN HELICON.

TODAY IS THE DAY FOR MAKING ENIMIES COME INTO
FRIENDSHIP AND FRIENDS INTO BROTHERHOOD.

I salute You, Poet Peter Paton.
