Hands Up in Peace
Gassho is a Japanese word meaning “bringing two hands together”. This poem (sonnet)was inspired by the growing impact of negativity, be it on the News or human attitudes… my hope is to see the hands of adversaries connect in 2025 in peace. ☮️
Gassho Hello!
Grief and sadness in our world
A never-ending dead-end swirl
Hatred, anger, fear and gloom
Revolve around our sun and moon
Creating catastrophic narratives
Spewing venom like laxatives
Neither sensitive nor positive
But becoming somewhat normative
Be it local or more widespread
Towed by ropes or simply threads
Hope that human benevolence
Can benefit Earth’s inheritance
For our world, and some lives too,
need a refresh and better News!
