A Crisis In Play

I would like to ask all my fellow poets, To spare a thought and a quiet moment, Concentrate and pray, and let our United energy, Reach India, imagine the torment and Fear and horror Humans are going through, which is Inhumane, afraid to live from one day To the next, Stacked up funeral pyres burning Twenty four seven, the stench of charred Bodies, whilst helpless traumatized families Look on, An absolute terror stricken population, Asking wealthier countries to please send Them their surplus vaccinations, Black smoke rising into the sky depicts, A true vision of hell!

Heidi, how are you my dear friend, we have to keep them in our thoughts and pray that some miracle will happen - they need the vaccine as much as people need water to survive. Thank you for a lovely comment. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I am with you dearest, Jennifer. God bless you for the initiative. Out of my 5000 friends on FB the 600 hundreds are from India. I have daily discussions with them and send my prayers and love. May God help them. The world seems to be ready to help and so you and I and the rest of our fellow poets.
