Unfairness is reality
in an ice cold world
where your voice is
seldom heard.
People spite you.
People strike you.
Is this really
the good life?
Or is it the hell
before heaven?
Lightning-
The calm before
the atomic war.
Thunder-
The screams of the
innocent that die,
because world leaders
can't reason why
there's a need to destroy.

hello,
I find this a beautiful poem. It's a clear description, but you can imagine so much.

Thanks for visiting, Fie. I wrote this poem about 20 years ago and I've always liked it.
Beautiful ...
Thank you, David, and That Q is for Queensland shot is awesome. I can't stop looking at it.
Very fitting poem to describe current events. David McMahon sent me here and as usual, his judgment was very good, very on target.
This is fantastic.
@ Jeni: Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you liked this....

@ misty dawn: Thank you so much for the compliment. I don't consider myself a writer like so many of the bloggers I read through David's links. So it feels extra special to hear them. And congrats to you for making POTD twice in a row. our writing is wonderful.

*Your writing is wonderful, misty.
Hi..just came from David's. Written 20 years ago and still so appropriate today.
I pray we stop trying to destroy ourselves...
My son loves poker so I'm going to send him here :)
debbie,
Thanks for the comment and tell your son he's welcome here. If he needs some good links to some great sites I can point him in the right direction.
John
