Longing for safety
A warm cocoon
Leave the cold at the door
Closed eyes against the troubles
Howling in the dark
I want soft music and quiet books
I want romance and love stories and happy endings
I want boats floating on tranquil waters
Under blue skies with cotton candy clouds
Longing for pleasant dreams
Deep sleeps
Friends and laughter
Good hard work with time to rest
Time for me
Longing for home somewhere
Sometime
Discord makes an ingress
Violence calls unannounced
Shocking not shocking
How full of madness is the world
How full of strife
We no longer have to operate from such lack
How can humanity continue in this way
There is plenty for everyone
Distribution and hoarding are the main barriers
Logistics, and logic, and heart
Could so easily combine
Here we sit on the sidewalk in the rain
In wonder that no one opens the buildings empty
For shelter
Could you care less
Could you care more
Discomfort
Could you address the
Could you change the
Can we improve the
Blank spaces with hope
Blank spaces with care
Bland spaces before we
Slip over the edge
Humanity drowning in war
Humanity choked by greed
We were called to love
Above all
Our people
We were called to love
And did not answer this discomfort
With charity or generosity or wisdom
So came the collapse
Towers of Babel falling
Undone by pride and ignorance and obstinance
The ocean devoured the mountain
The mountain exploded into the sky
Somewhere a small god giggled to a
Small goddess and said
“Okay, I reset it. Your turn.”
