Tyrants

This is specifically about many of our current world leaders.  Yesterday (as everyday) was an especially  horrible day for innocent people caught in the crossfire of war and arrogant politics, especially children.  Toss a dart at a map of the world, and it will stick to a place where children are being torn away and separated from family, or denied food and medical supplies needed to simply survive.  I don't understand such things - coldhearted and inhumane.  I don't want to understand.  What cause can possibly be justified for the extent of suffering felt by so many innocent people?

I see the fragile egos of these men - the greater need for power and wealth rather than the welfare of fellow human beings, especially children.  

There is little diplomacy in the world from our leaders right now - just an ugly, huge cock fight.

Thanks for reading my rant.  I always appreciate your time and thoughts.

I'm certain your "empowerment" theory is absolutely correct.

Thank you for sharing!

I cannot imagine how much more the United States can take of our current administration's abuse against human beings and of our Constitution without strong opposition finally taking hold.  (But then, I never would have thought we'd be here a second time.)  And to see so many other world leaders commit genocide and war crimes globally in spite of the International Criminal Court agreements is vile and unbelievable.  

Thank you for reading.  I greatly appreciate your thoughts and concerns.

These types of poems stay with me a very long time - strange, I feel no peace in writing things like this.  Just deeper disbelief and sorrow. Trying to sense positive energy somehow and in some way...

I wrote a little poem about my purple velvet couch, which is very bohemian and brings me joy.  Also, still concentrating very much on the Aisling poem!

Thank you for your kindness!

Love, L
