The terrible, bitter fight of those who will not let go of times that are ending, who will not accept that ordinary people in 2015 want to live in freedom from rules that are no longer relevant has been felt across the world this week and this month and this year.

Changing world

World is changing;

time of men’s hard rules is ending,

but take care, it still burns,

embers flare under ashes.

Those near are razed.

Feel their pain, offer shelter,

bind wounds, hearts,

heal their pain,

but know it is death fear’s fury,

a fading, angry time, smoother the

coals in love and water.
