The Sky Is Fallin'/Queens of the Stone Age. Primary Video embedded in the poem's text, is not the original I posted. Creator has removed from Youtube, so unable to embed it as primary video. The video was beautifully shot with superimposed features. Goldfish/or Carp superimposed on moving clouds with video being shot from window of a car as it rushes along the road past tress, with the goldfish/carp in the sky. It was quite beautifully shot/created. Surreal mixed with real footage, not cartoon. Current embedded is slow and reverbbed. Original song below.

Not a poem about Putin, or Ukraine's President Zelenskky - I wrote it with a few other subjects in mind outside of the current Ukraine/Russia war...but I could put this in here in response to your kind comment. Let us hope Zelenskyy's prayers are answered. He is a good man and a very strong leader, the best leader for his people. https://youtu.be/fXAK-bEFjds

obviously "in his cups" at the time of articulating the quote. Although the first three words ring accurate.

"[Saint Anthony] said, in his solitude, he sometimes encountered devils who looked like angels, and other times he found angels who looked like devils. When asked how he could tell the difference, the saint said that you can only tell which is which by the way you feel after the creature has left your company."
