Greater Hate Hath No Man

At a bunker in coastal Ukraine
Filth and death; now sadly do reign
With wide open wounds
Many might well die soon
Yet They've never of covid complained

Hmm indeed Joe, will we never Learn.? Well some of us no I Suppose ' look at this there is Putin on one course.' And Hundreds of presidents and Senators etc on the other you Would think there could be more A chance of some the larger group trying a different tack with Him.? But they all see force as the only recourse.? Oh well I can't see sense in escalating things.?

We can be at our worst, yet There is also a paradox Paghunda.. I think positivity With a reasoned approach Can show a different path to Those who give in to deep Pessimism and lash out its Keeping a course as true as We can that can make a difference.' Thank you for your Visit to this page '

I enjoyed seeing a limerick from you. Keep trying out these new forms, Joe. Little note. the first two lines should add a few extra syllables equal to final line. At a bunker somewhere in Ukraine/where great filth and death sadly do reign...(that would do it!!)

Yes I thought so but didn't no 1 want too many and no 2 To get it too stilted Andrea, I was going to put sadly in The second line..? And deep in the 1st.? Well I'll do that now and see how it flows.'

Pangie We are in the midst of The mess that mans ideas of perfection bring us to.' Many will go to where the worm never dies..Yet some Will be saved ' the harvest Fields are heavy, the effort Must be made'
