Poem -

I, the poet

I, the poet

I, the poet in residence on the

Street of the mother beggar 

With this hand cup 

Lift a child Lord Krishna 

See their eyes glow ~

I the father of the child 

On the streets of Ubud 

Wait for mercy 

I, the poet in residence on the

Streets of death 

With this lung black 

In this dust choking

Bleeding, dying 

I the father of the child 

On the streets of Aleppo

Wait for mercy 

~

I the father wait, 

I wait in the tears of the river 

My home, the drowning waves 

That is this street of child suffering, 

And I wait for mercy....

Hello Jai...

What goes on around the world is terrible...

If the rest of the world got together and stepped up to protect the innocent and suffering...

The power would certainly be strong enough?

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...
