11-29-2016<\/p>\n

NATO provokes Russia with expansion,
\nWhile China grows in South China Sea,
\nBoth Iran and North Korea go nuclear,
\nWhile Russia annexes Crimea totally.<\/p>\n

Jews and Palestinians are in conflict,
\nWhile Duerte thumbs his nose at USA,
\nISIS spreads its terror across Europe,
\nIndia & Pakistan find no peaceful way.<\/p>\n

All of this provocation and turmoil,
\nFueled by so much hatred greed & fear,
\nIt really makes one stop and wonder,
\nIf we’ll make it even one more year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
