Lives are seeking shelter in the icy waters of our nation.

Realizing that enough is the result of battle scars.

We walk in town and wonder every light comes our way.

We worry that someone we know is suddenly the victim.

Waiting for some good news peril in our eyes seems real.

If government cared this militant siege would meet its end.

Happily worry about those we know we care for.

Think globally, this is our humanity.

Act locally we might live a simple life.
