A Summer of Blueberries, a Summer of War

 

 

SUMMER OF WAR
IRAN THREATENS NEW STRIKES ON ISRAEL
CEASEFIRE COLLAPSES
OIL SURGES

 

-Drudge

 

 

This morning’s news is all about the wars

For oceans and oil, and oceans of oil

For the ideological souls of men

For a tyrant screaming through a midnight screen

 

Our morning is all about the blueberries

Fresh dewy little globes among the leaves

Magic treats for children, fairies, and elves

Or for a dream-lover with flashing dark eyes

 

Blueberries fresh and new, colored sky-blue -

I picked a basket of them just for

                                                        you!
