it was not the same this year
a sombre feeling pervaded the air
in spite of all the merriment efforts
the bondi massacre has left its mark
it will take a while for those of us
who live nearby to recover
and now

we have the caracas moment
a different kind of fireworks
2026
not off to a great start
Too sadly true! Yes, the Bondi massacre must be even worse for those living nearby – and is still felt all over Australia too. And, yes again, I was hoping for a better year this time, but then came 'the caracas moment'.
ReplyDeleteVery few things about 2025 were joyous .. and when they were, the negative managed to find a way to surface. I am hoping against all hope the new year treats us well, kindly, generously. With intelligence and grace.
ReplyDeleteI would not have imagine the Bondi ordeal. My memory was of a rain so hard we couldn't get off the bus. Nicely told.
ReplyDeleteIt 's a heat wave here for the next few days 42c You know it's going to be bad when they advise you to stay indoors not go to the beach.
DeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteMemories remain.
Those nearby still feel the pain...
May 2026 be nicer. Take care.
