Mighty winds are blowing


Mighty winds are blowing,
I cannot see how far away they are
but what I sense is a feeling of fear.

Soft as I may tread the daily grind of survival
angry hoards are marching
violent in their step
and I know from past experience
that is war
of which kind I am unsure
as this wild storm brings dust foul,
radiation fall out. Wow!

Who has perpetrated this crime?
Supposedly the Russians, Chinese
or foreign power,
however let us not forget
who and what we have – and in whose hands,
this violent storm is perhaps ours.

God help the innocent


God help the innocent
what are they to do
as a country such as ours
declared upon their sanity
destruction, mayhem,
losses unbeknown as yet.

But what a fascinating argument
to ask those devils why
in the name of what reason
‘conquer’ is such a vital cry.

Surely not the bounty
surely not their prize.
Who gains – not I the foot soldier
more the banner on a large house
and those formidable destructive pals.

God help them
when their party of destruction is over
and an enemy now they have achieved
as when they, this present enemy,
arises from despair
theirs will be a reckoning
and we be the ones
their guns are to set, aim and fire.
