HOME LAND!
Living in home land, yet like living in
happy fear
Dancing to tunes played by the unknowns,
yet shedding happy tears
Life in shackles and chain, yet as free as
air
Events and trends as fast as an air bus,
Yet dominion over nature as slow as the
Sudanese child that never got to its destination in 94.
Loving, living and killing homeland
All happening at the same time
Hopes seeming as beyond invincible yet as
close as our shadows
Push the limits homeland, let’s push the
limits.
From the R.I blog desk.
Britain - No respite from floods as wind and heavy rain are forecast for the weekend!
More waves of bad weather to sweep in from the west throughout the weekend, with Spring tides set to remain high and winds continuing to gust at more than 50mph.
Forecasters warned there would be no respite from the bad weather and floods this weekend as high tides, strong winds and heavy rain continue.
Streets and homes have been flooded in coastal areas as high spring tides and gale force winds swept in from the Atlantic and heavy rain fell on already sodden part of the country.
INSANITY!
What a great difference that exists, yet
most similar
She stands there as if waiting for
something, but nothing seems coming forever,
Looking so helpless, yet accompanied by
great powers ready to fight and protect,
Moving to and fro as if on a senseless
sojourn, yet in business more serious than those of any,
..... Insanity
- life in another world.
She keeps on living as though immune to
death,
Facing risks to the face more boldly than
any sane one,
Wonder what goes on in her subconscious,
think she’s with full coherence
.....Insanity -
life in another world.
Sanity moving past her as though they were
more important,
Yet to the supernatural, she stands as
important as all
Maybe just filling up a gap that has been
created to be filled
How I wish we could all live as one
......Insanity - life in another world.
