This war is not even 1 month old and we are already tired of it. Not even the Russian Ukraine war inspired much anymore. As Hviezdoslav says, “everywhere is human slaughter.” Thank you for keep this up.
This is such a powerful poem / picture. I think all the questions help us question deeper. Thank you for writing, sharing and bringing light into the dark spaces of humanity. 💞

Thank you, Josh. Everywhere is human slaughter, indeed. And with no consequences, too… just breaks the heart.

Thanks so much, Delaina. 🙏❤️
Very very powerful, Rajani. Don't say peace, when you mean power. Yes!
Whose corner are you in,
they ask? It is a round earth,
there are no corners to
hide in. The arc of horror
circles back to the beginning.
This will stay with me.
Thank you, Sonia. Sad this poem is still relevant after 2 years.
As always, you have said it as well as it can be said. My soul is so weary that leaders have learned NOTHING. "Don't say we when you mean I." True.
Thank you, Sherry. Wrote it 2 years ago…a shame it is relevant now…it should never be!
"Behold the ugliness of
civilization, disfigured
by war. This is the measure
of failed humanity.
Of humanity."
And of course, silence is loud as cheering. Thank you for continuing to speak in this disfigured world!
And you, Susan. You’ve actually been on picket lines - done tonnes more. My poems are an admission that all I can do is write.
#11 hits the nail on the head. One death, any and every one, is too many.
Absolutely. Thank you, K.
Damn, Raj, this is brutal. And so, so, so obviously the case.
(I have to counter with a handful of pansies and a polished apple.)
Thank you!! Flowers and fruit will do very well…anything to alleviate the constant horror and doomscrolling.!!!!
love this" The arc of horror
circles back to the beginning.
Thank you, Rebecca. Glad you liked those lines!
