I try not to worry
About what seems escalation
Between Russia and the world population
Also Russia’s view, I try to see
Is It Deteriorating
Water
Very soon, our drinking water runs out
Yet, they soon expect a million more people,
Here ~ someone should think about
Looming obvious oneway steeple
Russia
Worries & tensions rise
Someone should get wise
From my distance, I uneasily judge
On who should budge
Last Summer Day
Long drought we had
Mediterranean light we enjoyed
The State Budget was presented ~ is it bad?
Also before my eyes it will be deployed
Rarely Seen Before
Knowing Russia
History taught to never underestimate
Russia ~ it lost severely in several wars
Yet, it bounced back, even when late
And others had crashed its doors
Travel
Unheard of before:
Travel is becoming a lot more
Strangely difficult ~ in this country
No trains, little airport security
Will we see more?
Political & Economic Instability
Rarely, instability leads to a nation’s end
Toward confidence, awareness should bend
Hardship may follow
Yet, improvement follows difficulty now
An Appreciated Monarch
I just heard that queen Elisabeth died
In stable strength her nation could bide
For sure, the queen helped tie restoration
Between ex-colonies and her nation
May positive memories be shared wide
September Sunday
The heat goes on
Gardens yearn for water
It will finally fall ~ later,
This week ~ on the yellow lawn
Among Presidents
Vladimir Putin didn’t attend
Iconic president Gorbatsjev’s funeral
Because it ‘didn’t fit into his work schedule’
This isn’t easy to defend
‘The Sun Shines Stronger’
Finally the newsreport admits it:
The Sun does shine more
Than before
Humanity didn’t cause much of it
A Good Walk
Many political crises
Yet, I find outdoor distraction
While others avoid honest analyses
Of Netherlands’ dangerous inaction
Almost a Wrap
I’m finishing something difficult
While rains are falling,
First onces after months of nature drying
While trying to ignore media tumult
Never Before, Here
Never have we had this dry heat,
The drought of Madrid, Nice, Sicily
It makes the outdoors a good place to be
Before, humid suffocation did we meet
