Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Will We Ever Learn

Crackle, crackle, crackle.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
Burning all our bridges
Until there is no way of return
Futile battles causing pain and grief
Continuous fighting that gives no relief,
Or peace of mind for all humankind

Vijay Pandit June 2, 2022 at 4:11 AM A meaningful, true to life poem, Shirley. Some love chaos--and that is the point it seems. A blot on humanity they are. Shirley Hawkins June 3, 2022 at 12:29 AM Thank you, Vijay, for your kind comment; I could not agree with you more. Take care. Shirley.

Shirley Hawkins June 1, 2022 at 9:16 PM Thank you, Milt, I always appreciate your comments. Sadly, I think you are right. When is enough enough? Too much power and greed, too much poverty and carnage. Enough already!
