The Sky Isn'T Falling, However --

If the moon rose in the morning
      and the sun in the evening
    without the least warning
      What would folks be perceiving
  
    Would they be disbelieving
      even some of them grieving
    Or would (it) they be receiving
      somewhere down in their being

Thought provoking poetry, Gershon. Much depends on one's perspective. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I would be terribly confused. And since I am generally confused, is it so already?

Milt, I can assure you that the sky is not falling. But the earth is rising, man -- so I wouldn't sweat the sky! Smiles, gw

Insightful write involving ones perspective, clever and witty as always Gershon.

Fear of the unknown and self-doubt are mostly what hinder people from accepting change. Although others welcome change with open arms! A great poem about introspection Gershon! Love it...ab
