A beautiful picture

Your poem it makes me think of those many starving people in the news right now in Africa; the world is faced with many questions but there are few answers to the planets over population. The pressures put upon supply and demand even without natural disasters we can’t farm enough to feed the populous we have around us now. There’s much beauty in the world but the world is evolving it’s been going through one of its quietest periods allowing us to emerge unequaled… Polar ice is now melting and oceans are dying starved of oxygen; but these things have all happen before it’s written in the ice cores that world has its own cycles. The world is truly beautiful its history has been destructive driving evolution forwards... There is a lot of money to be made out of greenhouse gasses guilt etc. It then makes great sense to pass that guilt around the world on to us..? Good poem :)

Really enjoyed this well expressed
poem, on suffering in this poem, sad
but you have painted the picture of it all,
maybe this could be forewarded make money, for
the poor children that have nothing, water food
strength, medication, love and dedication struggle
to survive. Always someone worse off somewhere?
I love the title, say's all. But of course doing of
every living person, think and give what they haven't
in comparison. We and many suffering and will cutbacks, but not as drastic as this is it. You have put it all in a nut shell as we say, feel the emotions, and watched t.v. leaflets and shops advertising, some in streets. Like I once did "Save the children fund, when able one day collected, and knitted toys or took thimngs shops. Or small donation.
julie xx have a good day. Can you paint? I can't.
I feel this is a winner cherries, all in the picture!

Certainly a hugely evocative poem...especially at this time, Pia, and I heartily agree with all that has been said.

Sad but i love the hope at the end as well Pia. :-)

Mark- Yes it was a cry for Africa mainly. I think we need to shift the distribution of ressources to feed the world. There are far too many with a lot and not enough for the broad masses. And yes nature is being poisoned- we are really killing the world, aren't we? It's not pure innocence but pig-headedness and callousness. I'm all right Jack. We also have to have a look at consumerism- it is exhorbitant- and really peaked about 20 years ago leaving pollution in its wake. Sometimes I fear the earth doesn't stand to be saved- so sad - such a barren feeling.

Well thank you very much for reading and for your lengthy comment. Really made me happy to see such awareness.

Thanks for reading Julie- yes we really must be aware of the issues that need attending to. I am so glad that you are such a good charitable person- admirable.
you have a nice day and take care

Thanks Tina- You know- if you didn't agree I would have been left wondering. If the plight of Eastern Africa can't hit a chord in humanity's heart- then nothing can I think.
Thank you for reading and telling me your thoughts. So kind of you.
have a warm sunny day- I hope- we haven't seen the sun for almost a fortnight but today there is hope. It has really been getting me down.

You know FB- I am great believer in hope- thanks for reading and leaving a comment. Much appreciated

take care
