  ********************************************************************************************

There’s nothing at all that I’m needing and little that I’m wanting, no tasks I find too daunting~~ but the world is bleeding. The hungry near and far need feeding; the homeless need shelter. All around there’s helter-skelter, and the world is bleeding. For safety, the abused are pleading. The addicted are dying. Distraught loved ones are crying, while their world is bleeding. God’s will, many are not heeding. Murder and mayhem reign; wars bring death and pain as this world is bleeding.

Janice, we are definitely in a dangerous place and you capture that with wit and elegance. Hard to know how we can change it, but I am going to one or two demonstrations this afternoon to honor John Lewis and point out that I am not pleased with the current state of affairs. You're very kind to write this. Smiles!!!

At the crux: God’s will, many are not heeding... Men forget God and how does that turn out, truly… Still we all suffer in some way. Well done, Janice! It has been a joy reading you today!

I agree with Andrea. The rhyme and rhythm make the verses all the more powerful. "God’s will, many are not heeding. Murder and mayhem reign" indeed. Reminds me of the Psalm or Proverbs
