CONTRARIES

The world erupts,

burning with anger,

screaming, maiming, killing,

as humans do so well.

A blood feud.

Far away and unaware,

a swan

quiet on the water

reflects the peace

and stillness.

Silent.

Just being …

Mr G. 7^th October 2023.
The day when the conflict between Palestine and Israel
added to the world’s despair.
