LindaGHill is hear again to give us this week’s prompt. : “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “trip.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”
Trip can mean a holiday or a journey, it can mean falling flat on your bum or your face! You can trip people up in a lie as in catch them out. Below is a Décima I wrote last year for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Décima Challenge. I originally wrote it about Libia. Today what I wrote about Libia is still true . I stream of consciousnessly changed the verses to fit Ukraine to fit all wars also. So this poem started out about Libia it took a trip and became a poem about Ukraine.
Line of blood drawn in snow or sand. Poison and fear begin to drip Over the evil rules you trip The men stand with guns in hand Take the children to safer land Every inch you have ever gained Corridors to freedom are drained. Deserted, left now high and dry False promises, innocents die Lost forever the freedom gained.
The season is a changing fast The bulbs are pushing up through snow Their roots are spreading down below Above there’s war, bombs fall and tanks blast Nature hears the echos of the past. She wonders will man ever learn As innocents they crush and burn. The Russians lie and will ignore It is false news the liars roar. Against evil we must stand firm.
Ukraine held fast in Russia’s grip Kyiv, Kharkiv are now household names While evil Putin plays his games Ukrainians brave, will not quit They soldier on while missiles hit. Russian people are on the hook The news is all from Putin’s book. They’re lied to and kept in the dark While jackboot stamps and war dogs bark. The world must act, the world must look.
The golden Wyvern circles high He dips and dives and gives a swoop Heart full of joy he loops the loop Scales sparkle as he sails the sky T’is true magic to see him fly. The Golden sunset is his cue To be up, he has things to do. A fantastical sight is he To see a Wyvern roaming free Fire from nostrils, scales green and blue.
Always put your best foot forward. Set your pace to life’s new tempo. Like a dance be it fast or slow There is so much to be explored. Skip and twirl to gain your reward. This is not a practice, so move! Keep on your toes, keep in the groove. Step up, the beat is on the rise Don’t get left behind as time flies. This dance of life’s. made to sooth.
Books are really my true delight An escape from the stress of life. Where my imaginations rife A door from which my mind takes flight A fantasy or mortal plight. Give me a book and I will read Of life and love, of hate and greed. Of space ships and a planet cursed Lieing villains doing their worst Oh yes give me a book I plead
It’s time for broke bridges to mend. Christmas is a time to spread love The message from heaven above Reach out now to a long lost friend. Truth is the best message to send. The tree is decked with sparkly things Yet who’s round it fills us with grins. A time for love and happiness A chance for us to make progress. Joy to the world we hope it brings
Winter’s chill nips badly shod feet Cold wind burns cheeks and makes them glow That cough worsens, makes concerns grow A gift of hot coffee, so sweet Not often an angel you meet. You see them on the street and sigh Their life stories will make you cry. Spare a thought for them just reach out. You could really help them no doubt. Share Christmas cheer around, please try.
Seasons greetings to one and all. A cup of cheer and food that is rich. It Christmastide so throw the switch. Celebrate go on have a ball Sod those who have nothing at all. Homeless people on the cold street Spare them a thought give them a treat Charity may begin at home They need our help out there alone. Help them, it’s not such a great feat.
I do not know who this man is but I have used his face more than once when writing about compassion. There is something in his eyes that reach out telling his story pain, grief rejection it is all there!
I used his face last at Christmas while I was talking about Crisis at Christmas . Crisis is the National Charity for single hopeless people. They are dedicated to helping people and giving them a chane to change their life’s for the better, to give them hope.
The Charity works all year round of course but they also do Crisis at Christmas. Volunteers spend a fortnight cooking, providing a warm place to stay for those lost and lonely people. They give them new clothes, a hair cut and also help them to change their lives if they want to. They help with finding somewhere to live or a job interview .
They show real compassion they help and they are unpaid and they really make a difference.
This world has truly had enough There’s no coming back from the edge. We’re gone too far out on the ledge. The rich just take and hoard their stuff The rest of us just take the rough. Where is the kindness, where’s the care Rich live off the poor, that’s not fair. Earth is tired of us parasites Rich or poor to her we’re just mites. Injustice just too much to bear.
