It has again been a gathering
- Publicité -
of the great and the good,
of movers and shakers
of this world, of movers
yet not shakers, the burning
issues of the times to focus
upon with laser intensity,
to alight on even better solutions
confronted by doomsday scenarios;
hearts and minds once more
moved, alarm bells sounded
even louder for the converted
and the not yet converted,
a battle on many fronts,
a dilemma of keeping going
in desperate hope, optimism
triumphing even for the short term
over the juddering slamming
of the brakes on progress
as known and cherished for long;
it has been a chastening
and sobering moment, in a place
known for disportments.
