Make no case
For shells
That harm,
When peace reaches
Exponentially
Farther.

We can reclaim
Lost sanity.
Small step by small step
We can restore
What this recent time had
Hammered in brutality.
The foundations are still there
Trusting rescue
Shaken but resistant.
Inchmeal by inchmeal
We can bring back home
Revive
Transform
The currently abandoned
Humanity.

Behemoth

The sheer size of injustice
May derail many a
Courage,
But the sure footed will know
There’s much room to
Encourage,
For heft can usurp power
But does not need mean
Might,
When the small but the many
Can prove stronger in a
Fight.

Apparatchik Acolyte
Spine; Gray Henry 1918
Beware of being blinded
By the application
Of flattery
(Or use of abuse)
To gain influence
For harm.
For if you do turn into
A servile acolyte
There is no end
To the baser motives
That you, too, will
Become.

A Global Warning
PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson
They said it would get warm, but they didn’t say how quickly or how relentlessly. He thought it would take decades.
He was wrong.
Trees still foliaged but most other plants withered. Same for people.
It killed the young, old, weak, and callous. The talking heads had babbled about it before TV stopped. They couldn’t justify cooling the studios when the grid struggled to air-condition hospitals. Not that the latter did much good.
He sighed and retreated from the window. Ignored his daughter’s empty bed. They were warned. By the time they deigned to listen, it was already too late.

In a world
Where tyrants gobble power
By cruel dominance,
There whispers also
The small voice
Of kind-souled cognizance.
With hands that hold the weak
And hearts that see
The sorrow,
They will become the light by which
We’ll write a new tomorrow.
Merriam-Webster’s word for July 10, 2018:

Route To Kaput
Photo: Pinterest, Carrie Miles
Olden times come to rise
Where the heartless devise
Righteousness to brutalize
Those they dehumanize.
An unwise move, time shows
For a smart person knows
That even one group maligned
Cracks open fault lines
In a stroke that would put
A reign on path to kaput.

Vanquish Voracity
Photo: Ofir Asif
May the eager seek the good
More than they crave
The rush of
Harming.
May the powerful remember
How no honor lies
In deliberately
Alarming.
Let satiety be reached
Not by cruelty
But with love.
So that children can sleep safely
In the arms of those
They love.

Peace Point
Central Park, NYC (Photo: Na’ama Yehuda)
The more chaotic life becomes
With power hungers gaining ground,
The more determined then I am
To point the beauty that surrounds,
The heart and kindness that abound
And the true peace that won’t succumb.

Optimistic in nature
Does not mean roseate
For reality may
Introduce caveat
Of the need to remember
Many times of ill fate
While never forgetting
The good we can create.
