rivers gone
revealing their hidden secrets
113 million year old dinosaur tracks
in texas
rivers of tears and blood
spilled by the suffering ukrainians
rivers of despair
the river styx
always present
no point in trying to hide
from the ferryman
rushing rivers rise
rivers overflowing
drowning destroying
everything in its wake
floods everywhere
when all fails
retreat to the world
of winnie the pooh
a gentler time of childhood
sadly we know
this will never be enough
for most of us
there can never be enough
for most of us
hence
our disastrous calamitous world
China bans Winnie the Pooh film after comparisons to President Xi
Yes, we instinctively turn to gentler times and thoughts, in order to withstand all that is happening. Ha, imagine banning Winnie the Pooh, what a strange world we live in.
ReplyDeleteAnd getting stranger every day.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve pretty much got the subject covered! I enjoyed the Piglet and Pooh video too.
ReplyDeleteI could easily get lost in Pooh's world. Friends and a pot of honey make me smile.
ReplyDeleteAw, poor Pooh Bear
ReplyDeleteThose dinosaur tracks - wow! If ever we needed a reminder that our time on earth is limited...
ReplyDeleteEeyore, Pooh and Woonie love your post ...
ReplyDeleteWell the Covid 19 pandemic surely taught us about takingfor granted and gratefulness
ReplyDeletehappy weekend
Stay safe
much💖love
When the grown-up world seems overwhelming, some find it helpful to turn off the news broadcasts. Or analyze them. Anguish sells, so as noted in dsnake's poem, news shows tend to be edited for minutes of anguish, minutes of "sports action" or weather (though weather can be played for additional anguish), and a minute or two of local niceness. Reality does not necessarily conform to the proportions the market analysts dictate for TV.
