I look out and wonder about the many challenges in the world, yet there is sunshine and happiness.
I look out and despair, war, trembling in the ranks, political unrest, protests, deaths and destruction.
I hold hope yet at times there seems to be none. The news spews emotion, little in the way of real facts. I feel hopeless in some dismal state of despair. Hope, less, hope for more.
I see care for others, then bang, a death or five hundred, others seem to just stare and plod on in careless regard.
Bang, another skirmish, another ringing out of shots, more dead, more marred, more injuries, even to those distanced by reports in the media, there is shock, there is annoyance, blame happens, politicians push and shove with their words and shaky stances at various podiums.
