I Don't Smile Anymore

Poems written in a time of turmoil and despair interlaced with beauty and love. "I perceive a thousand eyes from the past." "Cries of need from sundered hearts assail my ears." "I pass a chimney stack spewing its deadly gift and wonder. How much? How long?" "As life ceases, innocent millions again become victims." These phrases both troubling and relevant describe a world that is coloured by man's continued propensity to do harm at a time when love and compassion are the way forward.
