Call to arms

Posted on Categories Uncategorized 
Who will stand
and say 'No'
who will speak,

Ward off fear
defend us as
madness peaks.

Cold threats mock
security
war cries creak,

Shelters bomb
 protection
sirens shriek,

Ammunition
stock piles soar
profit cliques.

Building strong
arms to hold
hug techniques

Defend us 
all as true
madness peaks

Who will stand
and say 'No'
who will speak?

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.
