chirping ceases and the world
listens to strife in
the Congo, greed in America, Iraqi
suicide bombers, kidnappings
in Mexico and
I go to work, pay taxes
discipline my children, love my wife.
In the morning of our daily
struggles, after a bowl of cereal,
traffic and hospital stops, hair
growing grey
and money in diminished
supply, all is not lost. Within
turmoil there continues
an enduring love.

We are part of the community of humankind, and must strive to do our part to make this a better world. I believe it, and hope you do too. RLP
