Better smell the roses
while they bloom,
for it's possible
they shall soon
be sentenced
to death.
The skies are falling.
Chicken Little
is running for cover,
this time for real.
Captain Kangaroo
has already hopped away.
And the proverbial Phoenix
fears she may not return
from this fiery episode.

Humanity, or
the lack therof?

Have we given ourselves
a death sentence?

Better smell the roses,
hug your babies,
pet your dogs.
Then bow your head
and ask for mercy
as you cover your end,
which may be closer
than you think.

Thanks.

SEA, Eric, thank you for spending a moment here with me.

I fear for all humanity, and for the innocents who have no idea what's happening.
Who is watching out for the sparrows?

How sad yet true Kacy...
And what if anything can we do to stop it?
Frightening feeling indeed.

Shivered in me the fear of all we face and cannot control. Love today. ThisDiamond

Apparentely a comet is heading our way in about 18-20 years. You're all invited to the party I'm going to throw because I for one welcome. I fear this humans are too stupid to ever learn their lesson

I suppose you expect me to kiss it good bye. There is some benefit to old age. I can't reach it.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Kacy,
This kinda stunned me and got me thinking. I guess war isn't on the minds of people in my part of the world...

HUGS...(in case i say something wrong that will trivialise this poem)

ROTFL at your reply, Larry. Wanna take a yoga class with me?

For all who fear and can still reach your rear? Just remember to say I love you every day to those closest to your heart, and to find a way to understand and forgive those who pain your heart.

Kaile? I am so glad to hear that! It is comforting, and in no way trivializes the poem or the fears.

Peace to all.
