June tiptoes, sun-kissed,
in our lives
Each morning gifts
a bright sunrise
But while the
weather brings us joy
Much is afoot that
hopes destroy…
The Balkans powder
keg spreads fear
Is Armageddon nearly
here?
Kiev repels
sustained attacks;
Sudan’s ceasefire
shows more cracks…
The economy, in
fits and starts
Upsets world climate
apple carts
Power struggles
come and go
Confusing social
media flow.
Whom to trust? Now
that is key
As finance markets seem to be
In a state of flux
and doubt;
Is decency on its
way out?
The insidious
power of Internet
Means livelihoods
are under threat;
What is real and
what is show?
The future is not ours to know …
