Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

In pursuit of the blue

Morning maniac music
shakes me awake 
you, regular guys,
who once brought hope
now mired in hate.

Over the mountain,
clouds scud 
blood on the floor
fades away.

Iron in the soul,
blood over water
all those refugees 
avoiding slaughter,
as we oughter.

Waiting for sanctuary
no sanctuary offered
patriots will take care
of the country’s coffers.

Christendom fallen,
collapsed from within,
in all our hearts, sin,
we rot from within

Deep, deep in the mire of sin.
she tries to speak
can’t begin to say.

The remaining children
drip blood in the 2050s
no crystal ball required
just look around
everybody so fucking tired.

Sea levels rising,
floods all around,
wars about water
though rain.abounds.

Ashes in our mouths,
pray to renew,
this morning dew.

A poem worthy of some meditation. I was particularly drawn to the fifth stanza.

John, thank you for this
