Horrible Days
by Randy Meador

What is wrong with the world today?
It is rather despicable I must say
Terrorism, corruption, when will it stop?
There are bombs blowing up, guns firing
It just seems like more and more bodies tend to drop
More self-protection, more barbed wiring
We can no longer trust the neighbors we once loved
Personal items today are the only things beloved

"Can't we all just get along?"
Where in the world did we go wrong?
Now all we talk of is biological warfare
I think together we should express more care
Once everyone thought the most powerful weapon was the pen
Nowadays, it appears to be overtaken by the bomb
No longer will we feel comfortable in our dens
I worry for how long
Humans will exist in these terrible times
Dominated by terrorism, corruption and land mines

a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.

One act of kindness is a great place to start...thanks for this.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Randy, I know just what you mean, it seems we no longer trust in God like we used to, now fear and anxiety has bestruck us. (sad sigh) I pray that we can all find the love and hope to again make our love shine and freedom emerge! (sigh) Very powerfully expressed, dearest friend! (big hugggsssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Randy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Randy
So very heartfelt were your words and so much power is still felt through the written word as you have just displayed here. We all need to take stock and find where our real priorities should lay.  Take care.....Sue

Been this way forever, Randy, and so it shall be. it only seems stronger to us because it's in our time but it's nothing new...and that's sad in itself. Good write....
