Yesterday’s Verse.
Today’s Commotion.
Flow in my limbs,
And we all ponder about them.

 

Yesterday’s Verse was...
Two little Dicky birds,
Sat on a wall,
One named Peter,
The other named Paul.

 

Fly away, Peter,
Fly away, Paul.
Come back, Peter,
Come back, Paul.

 

Today’s Commotion…
Soaks my heart with sadness.
War sirens hoot,
Refugees on the run.
Under-nourished children.

 

Paddy fields in flames,
Speckled with bombs.
It could be anywhere!
On any Continent.
