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. Ida Werrett |

"Perhaps we are all children of survivors." I think you have it right, Ida . . . Good poem. ~*~ There is no evil angel but Love.—William Shakespeare. ~*~ |

"Those with the means build underground bunkers, store food, and gather weapons, cheerfully planning how they will survive while others perish." Politicians gone wild... I agree Ida. But we need not fear. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
