I Am Absent Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
I Am Absent
I Am Absent
I am today absent
that means today I am not present
everywhere around me Putin's drones are sizzling
my telephone keeps ringing and re-ringing
Putin has destroyed a Children's hospital
I am now in Kyiv, and I have seen the destroyed total
this is bizarre, Putin is not normal
a madman not so verbal
but constantly destroying Ukraine
finally total
he is the one to be destroyed,
me thinks
I am absent... The way you've written/expressed this Reaches straight to the heart! .. THANK YOU! ..
Ever So Deeply Heartbreaking! .. I agree also with Richard we Desperately Need To Pray To God that he May End such Horror! ..
There is NEVER any justification in destroying children's hospitals. Putin and the likes of him are evil incarnated. Those who claim to be religious are agents of Satan. Sylvia, both your poem and your notes are timely reminders for us to ask God to assist us in fighting evil!
Yes, indeed so true: Fighting evil, we all are able! Thank you for your inspirational respond, dear Richard. God Blesses you in abundance.
Full and heartfelt interpretation of this useless and horrid war that benefits but tyranny. Very important poem that Needed to be written! Deep and sincerest applause for my dear friend and great sensitive poetess, Sylvia. Beaucoup de Bravos pour. Sylvia and her wonderful poet's and human heart!
Perpetual thankful to you, dear honest Sandra, I enjoyed your honest statement here. Toujours avec Dios, Toujours avec l'amour
