Hi Dip,

All multitude of happenings when we're otherwise engaged. Just think of all the things we never hear about too...

I like the formatting here and the repeated refrain work very well throughout.

I here of another death through war and terrorism - I think in this instance it would be 'hear'.

Excellent

A very well-written thought-provoking poem. When we sleep we are not aware of what I'd going on in the rest of the world. Only when we put on the TV we learn what happened all over the world.

Comment from Poetic Friend

Exceptional

Dip, my friend, this is definitely one of your best, and it is free verse! Wow, you really stepped outside of your comfort zone, and you did it well! How do you feel being a free verser?

This poem moved me. It reminds us how blessed and unfortunate we are as to where we live. The poem also reminds us of the ugliness that exists in our world that could easily impact our world.

This poem will resonate with me for a long time. I love everything about it.

Thank you for sharing it.
