B Flat Minor To Major

When balloons bang babies cry
When bubbles burst children sigh
When bullets blast parents ask why 
When bombs blow up soldiers must die
When ballistics boom earth goes sky high 
When brilliance breaks down extinction thrives

Hola David. We bumped into each other in the comment section of a Maureen McGreavy poem (Always a good place to meet people). I picked THIS poem of yours in a random sort of way. I opened page 3 of your complete works THEN scrolled down to a title that caught my eye. I ended up here. No breaking down of brilliance here David. I could rant & rave about this poem for a long time David. Thank you...

Heya Jeff, delighted you stopped by, this one sort of slipped into oblivion, I’m delighted you resurrected it from my back catalogue, I think it was ignored in someones contest, your certainly right about Maureen’s page, being a good place to meet people, next time I’m near Seattle, I’m gonna visit Kurt’s resting place cheers David

Fantastic take for the contest David, I was trying to do something, and you gave me a hint. I like the sound and the word's flow, and I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
