Happy Easter to a pretty desperate world

At least the Pope made it for church, although he has looked somewhat ropey in recent months. Easter needs the Pope somehow. But the rest of the world is a mess apart from the odd Pacific island and tiny villages in Cornwall and Tuscany. Too many things are going wrong, too much hatred, too much uncontrollable anger, frustration and general fed-upness. A bomb explosion in Syria, murder mayhem in Haiti, anticipated mass missile strikes across Ukraine, Putin in power for ever, US election coming up which could be a disaster for the western world, an election in the UK which won't solve anything, destruction beyond nightmares in Gaza, Islamic terrorism anywhere and everywhere, Sudan and Yemen population suffering every day, like Palestinians in Gaza, and the families of the 1,200 Israelies slaughtered by hateful Hamas, there is no end to the traumas, and I have only mentioned a few. The problem is there is no sign that anything is going to improve. Whatever the Pope says today about peace and love, most of the world will shout yes yes yes but the evil ones on the planet will do their best to screw it all up for everyone.
