the horror of current events...

yep JF - hundred years after Sarejevo and world war one almost to the day - hoping by now we've learnt something

It's the sad reality of the moment.  Whale, I like how you've captured the view depending where you look and what you see.

thanks Vee - it was a "just so" moment, just as it was, as we came into KIV

staring into the face of greed and kissing the mouth that only hungers for power... no good can come from it.

thanks shadoe - I can't see right now how ordinary people come out of this without tragedy

Amazing moody feeling to this

You nailed it  

thanks PS really appreciate the add to your reading list - the feeling here is very fatalistic and expectant of the worst. But there is always hope - cheers again!

It's a sad state of affairs and nobody seems to want to intervene.. great ink Whale! with love Crim

thanks Crim, yes no one will move meaningfully and it could get a whole lot worse

New dawn--
the 'rise' and
the 'demise'...
yet "we" remain un-wise
with history doomed to(inevitable) self-repetition

(Agree with Crim---so few willing to organize the
"Intervention Convention" Committee.) :(

Concise and Creative!

as things come together - other things pull apart
be nice if we could get there together

Very nice. Your use of spacing really put the poem over the top

Thanks Matthew for this comment :)

I really like poems mingled
with reportage and this feels
just right...

Thanks Dartford for getting this short one - all best

How come that people don't learn. And always forget and repeat. It's so tragic. A sad and stunning poem.

Thank you for this comment Miss Chi - we seem tied to a wheel forever repeating the same mistakes, never learning - never stepping away from the wheel

Foreboding n tragic possibilities lying in wait
unless we get a miracle, NONviolent resolve
in this... Outstanding ink bro.

yep Poe - sometime this century there will peoples without borders - so this can't be worth dying over now

Yep cool writings

Really appreciate the acknowledgement KEB:)

You pack a surprising amount of depth into such a   short, sparse piece. Well done.

Thanks GF - glad u noticed :)
