Analysis of Stalled



I Don't know why the earth stretched.
Feeling I guess - stalled.
Alls broken in front.
But we have to climb the brick mountain after all. Devastation is vibrating through the planet from The Syrian Quake.
Thousands of lives lost. It makes me shake too.
I donated mere pounds so far and
feel useless in this surround.
I don't feel poetic at all. Just tied up and small like the rescued stretchered from beneath the walls.
God rest their souls.
My condolences.
The earth...
We are so small yet our walls are hugh.
