Fuel

Where is all the fuel gone to?
To fuel the raging fires in the world
Or fuel the warm and hearty fireplaces in homes….?

O! Where is all the bio-fuel gone to?
Has all the air gone to stoke fires at every battle station…?
Or has it gone inside cars to facilitate an enjoyable summer vacation?
Or has it all gone to fuel the windmills?
Or to serve as a path for many a biological weapon?

O! Where has all the water gone to?
To fuel water disputes around the world?
Or to cool the raging fires in the world? 

O! Where has all the fuel gone to? 
To renew life by renewing itself…?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
