Another poem? Another thought? Another.....?

The Eve

by Koye Lott

At the threshold of a decade

we face the mirrored images of yesterday...

Shadows creep within shadows

cut mortally by the flashbulbs of what has gone

From fear of a computer crash

to the real fear of airplanes and twins burning...

we find the carcass of peace shattered by an I.E.D.

An economy tanked by greed in a world

plagued by flu and viruses... some question

a Sovereign God

Yet with all that has happened in storms

named after women

Waves with Japanese names and the ignored

genocide in Darfur... mankind still fails to question its

choices....

And this is just the eve....

    Good morning, Koye. I like Evelyn's response the your poem. When I read this it brought back memories of a song in the '60's "Eve of Destruction" by Barry Maguire (I think). I, too, am concerned, and worried, about all the problems in the world. It is truly a troubling time. I pray God will help us solve these problems and at some point we will be blessed with peace.

    I Hope Your New Year is filled with Peace & Happiness.

    I have one for you too!

    The Spiritual peeling of an onion

    As I peel away all the drama and time,

    All that's laid bare is the very sublime :

    True unrivaled Love

    Of the Lord God above.

    Many Blesings in the New Year, Koye

    Another wasted opportunity to write an actual poem, instead of just a collection of sentences.
