Age old tradition and civilization destroyed
Faith replaced with cult
Ruled with racial discrimination
Islamists killing women
Cradle of humanity ruined
Africa in shambles

My sanctuary, my world...I've found in...
YOU, my dearest. You alone hold the...
Skeleton key to this heart of mine
And you leave me perpetually breathless
Never let me go when you hold me tight
Cradle me; wrap me in your silken embrace
Take me by the hand, and seek shelter...
Under my umbrella of comfort. I'll love...
And cherish you, and be your sanctuary, too
Rest safely in my enveloping arms
Yours affectionately, Edward.

Acrostic on LAUGH & CRY
L-ike to laugh I would in well and woe
A-cross all aim in life step forward too
U-pon my urging I am wondering not
G-et one gist of hope from coming pot
H-oist I’m hold everything as humane true
*****
C-radle to citadel of death a drop of tears
R-oam for relieving every grief of futile cheers
Y-et howling yawns in wounded pain for intact layers
