abandoned
in dangerous waters
that seethe and roil
with the blood of compatriots
we tread

but lightly and in silence
as the sharks do take what they will
especially
from our conspicuous few

why
are we not the power
we profess
and prefer to be

don’t we
aren’t we

is it really so easy
for the they
to find that distractive sweet spot
we seem to crave
and almost always fall for

almost

are we actually
afraid
or is there another
reason

look around friends
see the faces
tell your tale
feel our beating hearts
synchronize
with the waves

of uncertainty
embracing
that which binds us
bringing to center

our faith
and our answer

Peace/Love/Organize
