Unconscious Times

Perplexingly puzzling world, Finds fault with things truly good; Exalts evident evils, Where sadness of madness turns gladness…! Individualism wins, While humanism stands in Queue; Altruism alters always, Feminism in female feticide...! War seems ethics of the day, Fight for rights; Fight for mere fights; Lazy weapons needs testing, Ukraine today; Russia tomorrow...! No time for us to star-gaze, Dreams turn frightening nightmares; Nights turn days and vice versa, Sleeplessness and somnambulism rule...! 05 March 2022 LIND30NR Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke

Nightmares of war , a senseless war. Congratulations on your win.

Truly Chris, we seem to be sleepwalking through the brutality of Russia in Ukraine. "No time to star gaze" describes vividly the distraction and loss of focus this war has caused. I continue to light a candle every evening around 6 pm to keep me focused on doing something positive and stay out of the shadows and in the light. Hope you will consider doing the same. There are people in many countries lighting candles at 6 pm. Sending you blessings and congratulations on your win!
