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...

Age, Beauty that must fade
Earth dug and ready
where bodies must be laid," - Amen! Nicely stated, well written and beautiful. Blessings, Terri
