A Reflection Upon Rage

In the face of rage
We need to face each other
The birds sing for all

With so much rage, how do we grow and nurture, especially the “others”?

In tonight’s haiku, I try to deal with today’s news

Such wretched sadness
Pained hearts and tears aplenty
Cold rain falling now

Horrible News

Early in the day
Witnessing such suffering
A surreal day


 

The Amtrak derailment about 60 miles south of me dominated the news, and my awareness yesterday. 

For Tom Petty 

At first, resistance

Everyone I knew 

Adores all those tunes 

Which , in my mind

Trite, vacant, and “No”

Glad to say that’s wrong

Gritty dissonance

Akin to Dylan

The honest seeking

Within his lyrics

Brought out the sunlight

In this darkened world

A Truly Horrific Day

Filled with painful news
Death, destruction and much pain
Manifest sorrow
