Let’s hope we’re not in ‘prophetic’ territory here. A smart if unnerving write, Gershon. Terry

If only we would once again cry out for mercy from aour loving God. It looks about the same from where I am, Gershon. Heaven help us, before we destroy ourselves. Bill

It is gloomy to say the least Gershon. Thanks for sharing...

Hey gw, sorry it's been a while, I really like your description of the 'ruddy' atmosphere and smoke and mercy, sounds quite urgent!

It IS urgent. (The poem is about Earth, not Mars)... although this poem (like all poems) is open to interpretation...
