Truths of Life Footles

Light is waning Darkness spreading Hate is plaguing Values drifting Morals falling Bias rising Justice missing Grudge is growing Envy eating Beauty fading Heartache rising Future blurring War is killing World is weeping Yet you fear not Hope's still glowing Trust is building Love is healing Care is calming

How true is this. So profound! Its amazing how this chain of footles really is depicting whats happening in the world still… hate is plaguing unfortunately and envy eats us but so many are consumed and drenched in such darkness ~ i love the way this ends with hope and love still evident. Which gives my soul some hope too. This is beautiful and flows well And is such a deep one ~ An absolute fave Sending you light always

My dear sweet Valsa, this is such a poignant set of footles, describing the state of doom that this world is moving towards and livin in... sigh, the way you said "heartache rising" and "world is weeping" it summarises it all.. the war, the diseases , the misery of it all ~ people getting burnt in the fire of greed! Sigh, but midst through it all, there's still hope as there are still kind hearts who hold on to the divine faith and humanity ~ loved this so much! Heart-touching.. 💫🍂❤️‍🩹🍁
