War

“War” Marc Chagall

 

A glass of wine

Sitting there wondering

What the future will hold

War comes to my mind

And I shiver.

Not possible I want to scream

But the words don’t come out.

War! What’s there to gain?

The innocent will die

For something, they don’t  understand.

It takes two to tango

One who leads and one who follows.

May the right one lead

May the other follow

With peace in mind.

  2. This is a really frightening time with two egomaniacs trying to one-up each other. I’m holding my breath that someone rational will be able to de-escalate this.

    • It’s terrifying to see how quickly things can escalate. 3 1/2 more years…goodness we need a miracle.

      • We need to get to November 2018 and if things go the way I hope they do, we can put the whole thing on hold. But even 14 months seems like a lifetime.

    There is no ‘win’ in this current scenario. It can only end badly.

    … and the nightmare of this administration continues …

    I didn’t think it possible that I’d be even more sober than I’ve been the previous 8 months. Troubling times on top of troubling times. I have never seen this Chagall before and it’s breathtaking. Thank you for your words. Somehow solidarity in thought adds a little comfort.

    • I love Chagall and I am glad you liked the picture I chose.

      Knowing that we are not alone helps -but only a little.

    Two morons in two different parts of the world could literally ruin the lives of millions of people…let’s hope and pray it doesn’t happen!

    It IS scary. Neither of these “leaders” seem to be able to leave ego at the side of the road and truly lead with the thought of what’s best for the people of the world.
