A Resounding No
I wish I could ignore
The troubled world I see
I cannot take any more
Of all the controversy.
I feel helpless, useless and afraid.
What can I do to assist and aid?
The poor people who are stoic and brave
Who cannot ignore this horrendous war?
They have no choice but to soldier on
Even though their kith and kin are gone
Unnecessary heartbreaks, worries and woe
Can it be ignored? The answer is NO!
