There is a question that I ponder,
More than one I think,
Has our species reached the end?
Are we on the brink?
There is so much that’s wrong right now,
So many are without,
Can we not reach out a hand?
We can, I have no doubt.
All it takes is one to choose,
To reach out to another.
And if the trend repeats itself,
That hand could be my brother.
Family need not be just blood,
We all belong together.
We just need to have the will,
This storm then we can weather.
Tomorrow is still a great unknown,
The stories not yet penned.
Every word we choose today,
Could save us from the end.
If only everyone would read this and consider how easy it could be.

A year ago people were on their balconies singing, showing support for each other. We were loud and caring. Now it seems as if we’ve turned to the Darkside.

Pam, you are 100% correct. So many people are waiting for someone else to start the ball rolling and they’ll see how that goes before they decide to join in.
We can’t wait around any longer hoping “someone else” will fix what’s broken. We ARE the “someone else”!

You are absolutely right Ginger! We haven’t learned anything over the last year we’ve gotten more apathetic. That worries me.

And those very words are what will save us dear lady, that ability to ask of, and test ourselves in, what we believe. May that pondering prod us a littler sooner rather than later 😀

The brink is a terrible yet wonderful place. As yet no app developed. Though it is rumored kindness and thoughtfulness are excellent tools to meet the situation.

This great piece of writing is perfectly timed, what with all those unexplained flying objects being reported in the skies above us recently.

Deep insights Pam. I don’t we are at the end….at least not yet.

Outstanding thoughts, Pam. Then again, not surprising from a smart thinker. I had to tag this for future use. 🙂

I fear we’ve done ourselves in. Overpopulation, climate change, pollution, disappearance of species. I am always shocked these days when couples announce they’re pregnant. And more than a bit horrified.
