Beautiful America
24 November, 2011
Author: Jeanne Fiedler
The pink and white dogwood trees
cross over each other's branches
and space against the clear blue sky
One more day
of war and destruction
of mud and blood, rage and hysteria
The sun radiates
downward
sending us a spark
of peace and joy
The highway is endless
cars swivel and rattle endlessly
Never to find a way home...
The woods are dense and thick
with glistening streams
and magnificent trees
...unlike our world...
filled with an endless array
of stores and malls
merchants and advertisers
The woods are nice to go to
once in a while
The sparks are gratefully
accepted...
The muddy, bloody road
of death and decay
has got to reach an end
Soon...
------- Author's Notes -------
Getting emotional about the war, and problems the world faces. |
