2012-
Fear runs gleefully
about the planet
once again...
taunting the
temporary inhabitants
with yet another threat
to their scant earth years.
Those with the means
build underground bunkers,
store food, and gather weapons,
cheerfully planning
how they will survive
while others perish.
Maybe that is how
we got it wrong
in the first place.
Perhaps we are all
children of survivors.

"Perhaps we are all
children of survivors."

I think you have it right, Ida . . . Good poem.

Politicians gone wild...
I agree Ida.
But we need not fear.

Thank you, Ida.  I read and have been thinking.  Perhaps we are.
