Poetry, Essays and Art By J.H. Dickinson from All-Creatures.orgA small whisper,
Amidst eyes, tear-filled.
What is this world
But one of the disappeared.
Where hope,
And Laughter,
And semblance of truth.
Are replaced
With genocide and
Human filled ruse.
Where war gathers,
And children choke.
Gaza fodder, in silence,
I still reach, I still hope.
Where the land is wracked
Exhausted and ruined.
Rivers blackened,
Hearts fallen,
Pollution spewing.
And animals bellow and
Wail and screech.
Our hearts,
Still beating, impart,
Entreat.
And we sing out,
Giving hope to others.
To protect our home,
Our heart - Earth Mother.
Seeking kindness and light
In the storm of the world,
For all humans
And creatures,
In the hope of - One world.
