Devastation

Yelping dog, quiet!
I am rolling over the plains
of devastation

Hatchlings surrender
to the void that empties
the mind

Oh, when will they learn ?

It's too late, anyway.

  1. "I am rolling over the plains of devastation." That sounds concerning, Ninot. "When will they learn?" indeed. Take good care.

    1. We mimic the yelping dog, Sherry when we roll over and pretend all is fine. Then we complain out loud when it is not. We must make a stand.

    1. The lesson, for me, is the lost of our heritage, our resources and simply, our world, Brian. How could we let this happen?

  3. I love how it always seems so hopeless out on the plains of devastation, the pain makes me feel alive, thank you.

  4. Ninot Ma'am,
    Yes, why bother us with all the yelpings!. We're doing something useful.The idle minds politically staged often cause all these irritations. Brilliant write!

    1. Yes, Carrie. Passion is my muse for everything. It's great, but can be tiring. We need to slow down.

  6. I think there is always hope while people like you pass on the message that something must be done and I say "we know what to do, so what and who is stopping us?"
    It is important to know what we want to happen, specifically. Ideals can be voiced forever and have been but we need a map, a plan and clear goals. I know mine, and am not easily distracted but when I hear the lies and misinformation produced to protect the super rich at the expense of nature and humanity as a whole, I am angry and write about it. Those posts get few readers. Haha!
    But, what is the Chinese saying? 'A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.'

  7. I hope it's never too late to learn to escape that void.
