Yes!
where has all the civility gone,
did the sun leave the horizon?
did the earth move away?
water
drips
a picture is not enough for
those who thirst
and a menu
doesn't feed
the hungry
what
sense
does it make
to make war on the impoverished?
to
run
away
with the time that it takes
to
fill a thimble with the Seven Seas?
I don't know if two people
f
a
l
l
i
n
g
in love is enough
to balance the scales
of injustice
and right the wrongs
left behind
the
8
ball,
scratch the surface
and the dent
walk the dog
and talk your walk
bring back sanity to a world
too broken
dazed
crazed
unfazed
angry planet
besieged
beleaguered
betwixt
the devil
and the home team
mean
theme
scheme
scene
where words collide
four horsemen
ride
hide
behind fluffy clouds
pink and blue
sky
shock and awe
amazed
enthralled
blown away
rapture!
love
