While
Mother Nature roars
outside
my patio door
rain,
snow, howling wind
I
drink my coffee
in a
cozy kitchen
While
the heads of state
kill
soldiers and civilians
with
their bullets and bombs
I
watch television
in a
cozy easy chair
What
can anyone do to stop
the
slaughter of innocents
other
than wish and pray?
Perhaps
cast a single vote
in a
cozy polling place
