Hate and Love

Hate
                                                 Madness
                                                Terrorism 
                                               Eternal fear
                                       The world in turmoil 
                                   Darkness covers man's soul
                                     Agony's reign established
                                  Depression is leaving its mark  
                                    Societies are crying for help
                             From one corner of earth to the other
                              None is there a helping hand to offer 
                                One wonders what the solution is 
                                 To bring the world a ray of hope
                                          To reestablish order
                                         For people to live free
                                           As they ought to be
                                              Happy and gay 
                                                  As before 
                                                   Just with 
                                                     Love*

*Yesterday an eighty-six-year-old priest was decapitated inside his church 
in Normandy, France by two terrorists. 
I dedicate this Etheree to his memory. God help us all to find a way to live in peace! RIP noble priest!


Double Etheree: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Probir Gupta July 27, 2016 at 5:12 AM The Double Etheree has been beautiful ... In its look as well as soul ... but ray of hope is to be found nowhere ... the capitalist civilization is taking heavy toll ... the soul shudders ... Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2016 at 7:39 AM True, true and true but as long as we remain idle things will not get better my friend, Probir! We all have to work for things to change! Thank you for your lovely visit and comment!
