Fiery Sunsets Poem by Stan Billing

Sadly, it is not a sunset at all, but it's the moon
reflecting trouble on Earth, the doom and gloom
The wars in the Middle East and Putin using force
reminding us of the terrible days of the holocaust

Red sky at night sailor's delight, in morning sailor's warning
now we just pray every night for there to be a new dawning
We, in Australia can still look into the skies fresh and clear
People In Ukraine etc. see bombs, planes, destruction and fear

Israeli and Russian bombs going off, lighting up the night sky
innocent people running for their lives, and us wondering why
Religion, greed and sheer stupidity, I wonder how long, will it be
until someone drops a nuclear bomb and starts World War Three

Sun rises in the East, sets in the West since the very beginning
but will things change if these dictators keep killing and winning
Hope fighting stops sooner than later, the wars are totally insane
then, scared and innocent folk may be happy to see a sunset again

After that burning red sun sets and the moon and stars take a peep
people may once again close their eyes and enjoy a peaceful sleep
Can't see the point in these stupid wars they really make me frown
why should men, women and children be afraid of sun going down?
