A look back at 2025 Wishes
turning 2 Wants and then 2 Needs.
-------------------------------------------
It started bright as new times do.
There was -
This new dawn soon turned confusingly dark.
Grabs were made for people and places and things using negative means:
The gap between haves and have nots widened and got lost in the cloud.
No One heard.
Fear of the need for work
Confusion caused headache and heartache.
And, then-------
more shots.
Not just at home
But around the world
-as the holiday season started.
Peace on earth. Goodwill towards all.
The pain--
heightened
by the lack of outrage.
What are we becoming?
A look forward to
