fdelano Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Instability Gray clouds stream northeast, warm, moist air just south of the jet stream joins the low pressure counter-clockwise spin that sets the motion sucking everything to its heights, throwing water and debris outward in all directions, even carrying bits and pieces hundreds of miles as it travels to other areas to pulverize. Afghanistan spins out of control, but kills accurately. Where is there safety and reason-- Egypt, China Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, North America, Palestine, Qatar, Russia, or any of South America or Africa, each humanity tornado traveling where it will? Medical storms brew and churn within us all, each fought with pills and tonics and even hocus-pocus cures. Why do we choose to suffer disabling radiation and chemotherapy and spend fortunes to live for a few more months of misery? What about relatives who must watch? There seem to be no cures. We all know these phenomena will continue to their inevitable outcomes. All will end, none deserving storms, internal or those seeming to seek us out. Why do we continue to be faithful to our angels on the shoulder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Life it seems, is an ocean of problems where the young, fit and able will negotiate the surf with incessant energy. But the sad fact is : the majority of our brief life-spans, are spent just stood balancing on one metaphorical foot, waiting for someone, or something to push us over.....I agree with Juris.

dcmarti1 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Why do we continueto be faithful to our angels on the shoulder? Theological --and poetic-- wow. I will now have to go back and read some more leftist, liberation theology. Also was moved by: What about relatives who must watch? Not sure about this being bleak, though. Not sugar coated, obviously.....maybe brutal? Keep writing, Paco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
