If Not Burning

If not burned Hellas is burning the Athens is surrounded by invading fires no modern weaponry can stop this brutal onslaught. Greece is far from here, where the Atlantic breeze is cooling it doesn’t concern us, should it? Further afield, people have too much water the drown and become refugees trying to find a safe place. Are there any safe places left? Those who think their country is secure will not share it with the driftwood coming to their shores. California is burning villas made of timber are matchboxes for the rich to feels the heat, but does it make them kinder. Of course, it has nothing to do with us, we who live in a place where the breeze from the north Atlantic is cooling. In this time of life, the pandemic is just the beginning of a total breakdown of the world we knew, the day may Come when Afghanistan is a relatively safe place to go as it has no flooding to speak of but has plenty of drugs to pass the time while waiting for a fire to reach us.
