Warmth in a cold world

This world has grown so cold that it is  likely man will force the prophecies of annihilation to eventually become our reality.

The war and pestilence scaring so many living souls everyday punishing the  people all around us like they were the ones guilty of all the sins of man. Children having no idea of what's it's like to walk in the sun worry free and stare at a bird soaring high in the sky above the clouds. The children have no idea why they carry the look of loneliness and sorrow  in their faces and the tears that fill their eyes. This child's mother maybe faceless to you and I but to that child that depends upon her for food and love, she is the  most important person in the world. Unlike the man that walks in the shadow of his ego claiming the tittle that is rightfully hers. She tends to the wounds and weeps for her child  who has lost both limbs to a land mine that  violently erupted beneath him. Leaving  his side she takes a moment to look from a window at the armored caravans and men with riffles and backpacks walking  up and down her streets like this place, she calls home, was theirs from the beginning.

An what of  these soldiers; that line up to carry out their master's agenda like trained circus animals  performing before an intimidating crowd of loud ruckus voices, that  have to stow away their fears and march forward..march on...bring home the victory in a  game no one could possibly ever be a winner. 

At home a mother tries to be strong, tries to ,"Hold it together"..while a stranger so  poised and gallant delivers  to her the news of  her babies  recent demise He hands her a neatly folded flag, his words echoing distantly  through her mind, and she wonders how this man could possibly believe this gift will replace the child she no longer has.

Has God finally had enough.. are the earth quakes, hurricanes and typhoons a way  of saying stop this.. I will have no more. Do I have to take someone away from ever single one of you before you finally realize how much you have. You have each other, what more could you possible need? You have love, to share with one another, what more could  you possibly want? 

You have the sun and the moon and the stars in sky. The trees and the ocean and the birds flying by. The wind and the rain and the boys and the girls.And the warmth of each other when it's cold in this world.
