There have been
periods of time
in history
where the people
have had power,
periods of peace
where rulers
have been peaceful,
and people have had
their say.
But now,
we, as people,
have lost our power.
We are living
in a period
of war and injustice:
Like the ancient civilizations
where despots ruled
with reigns of terror
for millennium.

Exactly what I was thinking today.
Good. Mom
Eloquently written, Ethel, in your usual gentle way. Hopefully the pendulum will swing back in the other direction before it’s too late…
We can hope. Love to you. Ethel
And love back to you, Ethel.
Amen!
Yes. Ethel
A poignant poem, a truthful poem, a poem to reflect on and act on through belief that respect, love, peace may prevail, Ethel. As I read the last pages of Tom’s “A Weirding Storm”, a poem that speaks to its theme, I think.
Thank you. Ethel
Reblogged this on Eremophila's Musings and commented:
Oh how true this is.
Thanks for rebloging. Ethel
Dark days in the U.S. (and in many other regions of the planet too.)
Yes. Light and love to you. Ethel
And to you both, Ethel.
