Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Life Inches Along

Bombarded with news on gender and race
   Life inches along at a furious pace
We weep and we cry as our children die
   Taxes go up and politicians lie...

Technology booms and promises much
   Yet folks are unhappy and out of touch
The future seems bleak -- the same, only more
   ~ I've got a novel idea: Let's end all war

Ilene Bauer September 18, 2019 at 5:08 PM i don't think your idea can really work, gershon, but it sure sounds good to me! great poem... Gershon Wolf September 18, 2019 at 5:38 PM From idea to reality is a long, hard road, of course. Without envisioning it, though, it can never happen. Not a good idea to give up hope, as that = a slow death. Thanks for commenting, Ilene. :) gw

Connie Marcum Wong September 18, 2019 at 5:04 PM I don't believe God makes mistakes or judges us, I believe we do that. We have the innate power over our lives and will learn from experience. This plea for a peaceful world resonates with my ideals Gershon. Beautiful! : ) xxoo Gershon Wolf September 18, 2019 at 5:37 PM Appreciate your insight here, Connie. Let us hope for an end to war! :) gw
