Peace

Peace In a world full of greed, pursuit of power, divisiveness, ruthlessness, racism rife, fake promises, fake news, lies and deceit. Money matters more than mankind. I need to escape. Rainforests ravaged, raped and ruined, animals treated with cruel contempt, nature’s systems, beautifully balanced, trampled and bled without any respect. I need to escape. Rich purses grow full, those of the poor are empty, starved of self-esteem. Children, grandparents, hungry, cold, sick people suffering, disabled dying. I need to escape. Where can I go to heal, escape the odious oligarchs? I’ll walk in woods, talk to trees, let birdsong softly soothe. I need this peace. Grounding my feet in soft earth, light breeze caressing my face, this is my haven, my solace, my peace, where I can escape the evil world, I need this place. Ruth Mawdsley 28-11-19
