A World in Decay

Posted on

Morning coffee, chilly air
My aged wife sits, unaware
Overcast and rainy skies
Air conditioners quiesce

Niece in isolation, sick
My thoughts like shattered shards so thick
Vague sadness cloaks me in its night
As news arrives, a gruesome sight

The longest grudge war of all time
Yet God and Israel remain sublime
That silence speaks of doom and dread
For those who face them, filled with lead

And I sit here, powerlessly
Watching as the world descends on me
An ominous tone, a chilling rhyme
As darkness falls on this, our time

    The strife and hatred in the world is never ending. Sometimes I just have to shut it all out and focus inward on the blessings that surround me.
