DESTINATIONS - From There To Here and Here To There

GETTING THE MESSAGE

Contemplating
The calamity
Calling
All of us to attention
These days
Of just how quickly
And not so quietly
The world
Is woefully
Going to Hell
Faster than some
Unspecified devil
Can throw us another
Hand basket
I can't help but wonder
Why?

Well...
That is the
$64,000 question
Unquestionably
Boys and Girls.
Basically speaking
It's surely safe
To say
That
Our answers
As a people
And planet
Even with all
The hints
And prompts
Of stark reality
Have been
Indubitably inadequate
Inevitably invoking
The possible resigned response
From our very weary
And long disappointed Creator
Of
"Is that your final answer?"

Methinks
Mightily
Maybe
It just
May be.
