Because of Us
the earth quakes and shakes is
it in response to our own quaking and shaking
our faux leader of
orange hair scraped from the
bottom of the barrel
has severed our hopes caused
us to lock our doors in
fear
because of us or
our actions the earth has
responded
terrible storms people
say they have never seen
anything like it
the earth shrugged in Mexico hundreds killed
chained to our fate we
cannot chase our fears away too late
for rebellion
nothing to be done except
to take pen in hand and brace
ourselves
for what will be written we
reached the crossroads years
ago
we could have taken another course we didn’t we live now with our choice

there are those who want the world to burn, there are those believing that salvation lies in exodus... me, I believe that nature can beat us any time it will....
I have the same thoughts and reflections, Annell. These are harsh times. Thanks for adding your voice to the conversation.
Yes, I agree and like you I fear the die is already cast - strong write...
Hard consequences ...lately it's just been one disaster... after another...so sad.
Hard days but I believe we must have hope it will turn around.
Yes it seems we made our bed and now we lie in it....I think in order to push the pendulum in the opposite direction from fear and destruction we need to keep turning to love, to hope and to reaching out to one another...in spite of the orange menace.
Yes our bad. As a people I'm ashamed of what we've done to the planet and these mad laws we follow that give us no rights. The main religion being money and status (which grow on each other).
These are difficult times ... sigh.. sad.. :(
I don't l think we can blame the man with orange hair for this! (Though he sure isn't helping.) Alas, we made those choices long before, or failed to make the ones that would have had a better outcome – 'we reached the crossroads' as you say, 'years ago'.
Brilliant and impactful - equally thought-provoking read both ways.
I completely understand you Annell. Brilliantly typed. Good job.
Excellent! I always play with your style I read the first line down and from the bottom and read the next line up and so forth. The whole was great but those lines on that order take a very different meaning to me. very unique.
ZQ
The things going on right now should be cause of reflection. (and maybe action)
