Revered and reviled
In modernity and antiquity,
Very few realize she is dying.
Ever less grand she trickles;
Redirected for selfishness sake.
Justify as you will,
Only time will reveal your fate.
Reality will creep in upon you,
Draining your life blood
As you have drained hers…
Never realizing until its too late.

Great post my friend.
Thank you very much Jake, I appreciate that.
This is a beautiful poem Dom. I love this.
Thank you sir. This came about from a program I was watching last night that showed how wide the River Jordan was back in Herod’s day and where it is now. The size difference was quite amazing.
Thank you for sharing it. I hope it does not disappear all together.
As do I, it would be a very sad thing.
A truly impassioned plea, Dom!
Thank you so much Carol, now it is up to man to do what is right and set it free again.
Yes sir!!
In 1975 when I crossed it as a kid… I barely got my feet wet…
I’ve never been to it, but I would appear that it is even worse now, very sad.
Outstanding and beautiful acrostic, very fine writing.
Thank you Holly, I appreciate that.
