A Growing Snowball

 

This snowball is growing, 
yet it started so small, 
This world was sprinting, 
now its back to a crawl, 
45 souls were squeezed to death, 
Then when benches fell, 
three more took their last breaths, 
Next along came the Italian cable car, 
With the ropes that broke like a Kit Kat bar, 
Rockets were shot, millions took cover, 
And all the while, this pandemic still hovers, 
Now just this week, 5 deaths by a bus, 
And dozens more injured, 
all people like us, 
This snowball is growing, 
it won’t fit in my hand, 
The snowball must melt, 
this can’t be the plan.






Next year in Tehran?

 Well, we knew it was coming, just didn't know when. Another crazy week in the '20s here in Israel. Thursday night was wonderful. it...
