We Belong

 The Sunday Muse #196

 What can we share together?

We are visitors on a vast sphere 

Breathing in fumes of distrust and disaster 

Shortly timed lives we live

You and me

In this claustrophobic 

Whorl of self-destruction 

Who is wise and who is foolish?

  3. Sunita, I'd much rather share the pleasantries with others in the too-brief time we are in this world. Wise sentiments indeed.

  4. I like the question, "who is wise..."
    The same who answered, "who is innocent?"

    "We are visitors on a vast sphere

    Breathing in fumes of distrust and disaster"
