Another Sunrise

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Another Sunrise Another sunrise - and nothing has changed. Children will go hungry again tonight and seek their bed in any available sheltered nook or cranny. Another sunrise - and nothing has changed. Mothers will cry in anguished grief for sons and husbands lost to the constant evil of war. Another sunrise - and nothing has changed. Political and religious rhetoric will flow like sacramental wine - a largess of disinformation designed to lull our sense of indignation in a misguided patriotic fervor. Another sunrise - and nothing has changed. The almighty dollar, symbol of greed, will reaffirm its unquestioned claim of dominance over the lives of the 5 billion teeming souls struggling to survive the day so they may yet again see another sunrise. 11-21-2001 Written November 21st, 2001 © on Nov 21 2001 01:35 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 9
