I ask is there something wrong with peace and quiet
Riots
On the streets
Due to inequities and injustice
Money causing the rise of self-interest and selfish reward
War and conflict causing the disruption of the mind
Kindness
A commodity costing nothing yet often times so hard to find
Compassion and Humility
Values to be admired and encouraged
Goodness and Quality ideals to be strived for
Acts of altruism applauded and admired
Tired
We have all become of a world of materialism and profit
Love makes the world spin around no matter how much value
Is
Put
On
The
Pound

Trees
Jeez
I can’t get any inspiration from writing about leaves
Flowers
With the power to inspire others to put pen to paper
Nature
Unable to provide a source creativity or metaphor
Therefore
I stare out the window with inquisitive eyes
Skies
Above
Provide no urge to write about the absence of clouds
Or houseplants
Dancing branches in the wind blowing a chill cold enough
To envy a bear finding a cave to hibernate from the winter gloom
Soon
The face of nature will change from scours and showers
To a spring full of life and colour
Another opportunity to write something about our natural mother
