My Escape

Sometimes, my soul gazes like a lamb
At disasters of the world
And I can not understand
Why some things are so cruel and absurd

But then, I begin to write notes
And read wise quotes
I look at the sky
And comforting poems start to fly

A very small percentage of humans in the world perpetrate the most inhumane acts! Poetry helps us escape to a land of peace and tranquility! Nice write, hugs, Jack
