Awaiting Evils End......

 

As we await the whole of Mother Earth to shudder in destruction by Russia's idiot or North Korea's completely insane leader a fellow senior sums it up in this brief poetic composition.


The world it seems has lost its mind

Leaders so drunk on power to find

To kill mother and child, evil to bide

Sick minds, planet earth, no place to hide.


Eyes of the devil himself, seen of late

Weapons to try, innocent people he hates

Hell is here, the home where he bides

It is time world, let evil find, no place to hide.

The beginning of the end?

I recently read an opinion comparing Putin to a rabid dog and saying that he should receive the same treatment given to animals inflicted with such incurable affliction. One cannot but help agreeing with such assessment!

The only question then remaining would be how many of those surrounding him are similarly afflicted and would they also run amok randomly biting anything within their reach?

The only good thing about this all is that it appears to be bringing most of the worlds nations together in a common goal to find a way to stop this genocide, now if we only can come to a similar meeting of minds to deal with climate change, fire, famine, overpopulation and the like we may yet save our world from an untimely end.

We can but hope this is the beginning of a new awakening.
