The birds and animals are able to discern the signs of time. But we humans don't learn anything or care to pay heed to their warnings. A meaningful poem in your signature style, dear Joe.

Thank you, Valsa; what's the old saying? You can take a jackass to water, but you can't make him drink...people have allowed the devil to transform them into jackasses. I join you in prayer.
