Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

FROM MY ROOFTOP GARDEN, 06 APRIL 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

 

Caring For Others

Their hearts filled with fear

Nothing could save them but us

Dying Africa*






© Demetrios Trifiatis
       06 April 2017


* Inspired by Cyndi's Macmillan plea for awareness: UN warns that more than
twenty million people in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen are threatened
to die because of a famine.

Chris Green April 6, 2017 at 7:15 AM It is sad the state of thing in this world, if only more would read your uplifting and encouraging daily thoughts my friend, I think this world could be a better place. Demetrios Trifiatis April 6, 2017 at 7:25 AM Thank you for understanding the reason I write my friend, Chris! If only more people could appreciate my daily inspirational writing things might have been a tiny bit better my friend! You have asked me were it comes from. My answer is I am just the wire the electricity pass through! Thank you my friend for your kind words!
