Our world seems upside down Enough for everyone but many are without Food thrown away while others are starving Water wasted while others walk miles for Water that is semi-potable Buildings stand empty; abandoned People sleep on sidewalks; live on the streets Leadership cries out but does not lead Drugs are a big problem We leave our borders open to drug traffickers We have United States Senators voting to Abandon a living survivor of an abortion attempt “Do no harm” is removed from the control of physicians We want the million legal immigrants each year, but are Ostracized for wanting closed borders People are aghast with sex offenders But set them free to offend again and again Allow sex-slaves access to our country Create sanctuary formats for them I see a beautiful building and its reflection in a pond The building has been abandoned for years What took place there at one time? It looks to be a haven of goodness Many kind and decent people were most likely employed there I wonder what they did Was it a home for the infirmed and aged? Maybe a private school for gifted or special students Pictures say a thousand words This picture tells me nothing My trenchant mind will create a use That brings peace to the soul and then sadness Because such a wondrous existence came to an end Our world seems upside down What about our peace; our sadness Stanski February 27, 2020^
