The pressure mounts, world tension rises
From Middle
East come bad surprises;
Dried up is
that pool of calm
Our ‘qui-vive’
blocked in mode ‘alarm’.
Does life,
dear Readers, still make sense?
I would not
wish to cause offence
But everywhere
the newsreels turn
Lie harsh
lessons we must learn…
Injustice,
violence and crime
Upset our
joie de vivre – big time
Horrors
roll out and increase;
Where can poor
souls now find peace?
Good news rarely
makes the cut;
As fear and
drama and bad luck
Beset our
human kind in waves
Conclusion:
no one now behaves…
