How Long?
/This poem speaks of #globalwarming..."scorching heat of this arid desert" .... #overfishing... "this ocean we've bled dry" ... the constant cries for #peace throughout our world ... "how long before that Dove of Peace heals its broken wings" .... and #deforestation ... "in this burnt forest" ... #Amazon
————
How long shall we wander
through the scorching heat
of this arid desert,
yearning for a quenching drop
from the cooling cup of the oasis?
How long before
all the tears we cry
are enough,
to turn the tide
in this ocean we've bled dry?
And how long before
that Dove of Peace
heals its broken wings,
and finds a sprouting olive
in this burnt forest?
