This really made me think about displaced cultures globally and how they take their traditions with them - and how the culture lives on through them though they may be in a foreign land.

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
