In response to the prompt du jour at Poetic Asides. I have added links to some of the potentially more obscure news stories.
Message in a Bottle
Hello Wayfarer!
Pick me up. Uncork me.
Put my mouth to your ear and hear
As I whisper stories from far and near,
Of how I rode the waves that rose over ten stories high
And came crashing down on a city nearby.
Of how oil gushed out of the ocean bed,
following greed and leaving destruction in its tread.
Of men that took hostages of ships on the seas,
to wage wars that brought countries to their knees.
Wait!
Before you throw me away in disgust
Hear also of these, that may restore your trust
Of a people who still valiantly persevere
Through an almighty economic mire.
Of a people who fought for their right
overthrowing a man of awful might.
Of ordinary people that work each day
to help in their own small way.
And so before you leave the shores of this ocean
would you please drop me in the recycling bin?
Through an almighty economic mire.
Of a people who fought for their right
overthrowing a man of awful might.
Of ordinary people that work each day
to help in their own small way.
And so before you leave the shores of this ocean
would you please drop me in the recycling bin?
