Sign of the Times
Put a “Do Not Disturb” sign
over the forest
Hang an “Out of Order” sign
on the White House door
Proceed with caution
Yield to your conscience
Handle the whole world
with care
– The above poem, written for the New Year 2004 when George W. Bush was in office. It was a featured “Poem of the Day” at Poets Against the War online that same year. / Poets United

It is even more apropos today. This has made those days look tame in comparison. I adore “Handle the whole world with care.” But sadly, some will not be heeding this.

The concern being shown by so many is clearly a worry too for the people all over the world. Political stability in big nations is a form of safeguard against errant action from all sides. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
