A Bitter Plight

There, watch, the clouds part and light shafts blackest night particles of doss drift through a ray of white. Ah, revelation unasked for, and unwanted, coming endlessly unasked, and never daunted. I see the bitter blight of man's neglect lay upon the once fertile field of summer hay. I see a mighty ocean writhe and foam, die and n'er a voice is lifted, n'er an angry cry. I see children put their parents out to die and parents who accost their children with lies. Ah, revelation unasked for, and unwanted, coming endlessly unasked, never daunted.

Perfect! This is art, hon. Hope it tops the list. I gave it a go (a 360 take on yours) but wrote it too late, which is a-okay, cause we both know its all about the write... still...I do want to see you take home a gold for this. Bold. Deep. xox Dee (long weekend here. Family weekend. LOL.. which means MORE work for me, in a way... more meals, dishes, and the two of them can destroy a room in 0.2 seconds.... still, we are having lunch OUT. A treat for moi)

A profound write, Debbie. You are doing just what the prophets of old did with revelations....voicing them so that change can take place. God bless.
