What a good one Gershon! I love acrostic poems. The last line is so sadly true.

Love ‘S quatters- “What’s yours is mine” but the whole thing speaks volumes. Nicely done. Terry

Gershon, this acrostic holds such powerful truths.

Hello Gershon, Well, it has that sharp, sideways wit you do so well with each letter snapping into place. You certainly sketch a whole world tilting off its axis in five quick strokes, a kind of acrid humor. I think it carries that shrug of “well, here we are,” which might be the truest part of all. Winter Blessings, Gershon, Daniel
