Hello Jay,
This one says it all. Our world is falling apart more and more each day and it's all due to the things that you mention in your very well written poem.
In my opinion, as long as man is still walking on the face of the earth, there will always be wars until the earth is completely destroyed.
Take care, my friend and keep writing...Bill

Wow. What a depressing sad picture you have painted. Terrific! Poetry is meant to illicit emotions. You nailed it. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go cry in the corner.
Good day to you. I said...good day!

You certainly hit the nail on the head with this one. Well worded, good flow. The message conveyed is so very emotional and true. In 2020, the area I live in was hit by two major hurricanes six weeks apart. Then there was an ice storm in 2021(we live in Southwest Louisiana and don't really get cold weather normally). Finally, in May 2021, our area was hit by a major flood. May God bless and keep you and yours safe.

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt poem. I believe that Jesus is returning soon and with him comes what He warned us of in the scriptures: wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, smoke in the sky, signs in the heavens, God-hatred, evil and violence. I can't believe His coming is too far away as these things increase. Comfort yourself in God's presence and in His holy word.
Blessings to you always,

You have pointed out some of the many problems that we are now facing. Hopefully, if we can get the conservatives back in office, many of the problems that we have will be solved.

I agree with you that the earth is in shambles, and we are all in serious trouble. I hope that there is hope for us. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I'm fearful you've hit the nail on the head with this one, JB1. I believe we are beyond the point of no return, which is just a matter of time. I hope we are wrong and we are given a second chance, my fear is we've used up all our chances long ago. Best, JohnC

-I appreciate your notes and poem, jaybird.
-You have written an excellent poem about
the issues many are facing, and the fact
that you can do it poetically is a gift.
-You address many of the issues concerning
the environment and global warming, and more.
-A strong image is the plea to the Lord:
"please save our fractured souls."
-We definitely can use "more love and peace."
-They are all lofty goals to reach, but we have to keep trying.
-Have a good day and rest of your week.

I think there's a combination of things going on - the environment is approaching a critical mass of demand, and people as a whole are more informed than ever. Unfortunately, what they're informed by isn't always trustworthy!
