Just a Bit of Paradise
Just heard the news today,
another bomb blew someone away,
there were some angry men –
I think around ten.
They blew them straight,
to Timbuktu,
I don’t think they were ready to go –
at least they didn’t say so.
It was better for the bum,
sitting on the corner,
the noise and confusion –
made him think it was another celebration.
While he was toasting,
the police trying to make some peace,
out of another senseless mess,
people just shaking their heads,
while for others tears flowed.
As I say another prayer to the Lord,
I’m so very tired of trying to understand it all
and a sad world,
that has lost so many screws –
through all the centuries.
It’s still the same old world,
that has long been turning,
but now it’s slightly akilter
and I wonder who will save it.
So enough already I say,
give me a peaceful day,
let me just drift away –
in a paradise made for two.
I leave this noisy and mad world behind,
in our little bit of paradise,
where songbirds sing in chorus
and spring buds are ready to bloom.
Sit back and give me some room,
let’s hold hands and dream upon the clouds,
let no one disturb us here –
in our little bit of paradise.

Well, this is quite different for you, Rasma. I enjoyed reading it. Well done.
Thank you, Phyllis. It suddenly became inspired after nearby in Sebring, Florida someone went into a bank and shot 5 people dead just like that.
I heard about that on the news, Rasma. Such a horrible thing. There are evil people in our world.
That is why we all need a bit of paradise in our own worlds Phyllis.
We HAVE ro turn away from the news cycles , there is far too much negativity pointed our way !
Find that peace and embrace it like it’s the last !
Nice message !
Thank you, Ed. The last totally unimaginable happening hit a bit closer to home.
Oh I understand where this poem is coming from. I enjoyed the read thank you Rasma. Jamie
You’re welcome, Jamie.
