Days roll in and
darkness tugs
at apron strings
of tomorrow
Clear vision at dawn
ruffled by sighs and
despair of
unimaginable
happenings
High-pitch voices
reverberate against
screeching
movements through
imploding corridors
of no return
Brave uniforms
peeking urgently
through opaque
covers of
steamy breath and
restraining tears
Appealing for helpers
and pleading for
miracles
The bastion of
battered promises
and bungled
priorities
We mourn over the
passing of loved
ones
We salute resilient
beings blossoming at
every break of dawn
So don’t you cry my
love
Wipe away your
tears my dear
Sleep easy my
cherished ones
for your legacy
caresses all hearts
and every tomorrow
So we move on … with
steadfast steps
and rejuvenated
spirits
Nursing the passing
chimes of time with
positive inspiration
imbuing forceful
direction
Surely,
For today, our
glorious sun sparks
rainbow hues
amongst swaying
lanterns of
morning dews
And we strive with
blessings from
extended hands
to celebrate the
renewing cycles
of life
Bedazzled by the
signs of beauty and
majesty enveloping
every fiber of
conscious humanity
And witnessing the
fleeting moment of
subtle image of
Eternity gracing
our way

Our voluntary writers work hard to keep these articles free for all to read. But we do need funds to support our struggle for Justice, Freedom and Solidarity. To maintain our editorial independence, we do not carry any advertisements; nor do we accept funding from dubious sources. If everyone reading this was to make a donation, our fundraising target for the year would be achieved within a week.
