Isn'T It Nice

Isn't it nice when the world's upside-down
   when people are crazed with-OUT Covid around

When so many dark things seem to happen
   when nuclear war can again be imagined

Yes, isn't it nice that poets lean back and peck
   at keyboards indifferent to supply bottlenecks... 

And what's going on now in Kyiv, Ukraine
   does not occupy five-fifths of their brain

My great grands came from the Ukraine. So sick what Putin is putting them through. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/8/2022 6:20:00 PM Me, too. 'Uraine on the brain,' as you've aptly put it. thanks, kim

Valsa George Date: 3/8/2022 3:19:00 AM It is human tendency not to rake one's brain unless something affects one personally. That's why we say, man is essentially selfish !

Then your city. Then your country. After that comes the globe...

Anselmo Boles Date: 3/7/2022 10:42:00 PM Gershon, Let's hope that the situation there doesn't get much worse, and those you've tried to ask to speak up against the autocrat, who seem to be sleep walking, would finally awaken and say, "Man, I should have paid more attention and spoke more openly about it to affirm my love for freedom and justice!"...ab Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/7/2022 11:24:00 PM Man, I should have paid more attention and spoken more openly to affirm my love for freedom...
