in this day and age when atrocities
appear on every newspaper page
and the anchors on the tv screen
are full of tales violent and obscene
and the world it seems would bombard us
with a barrage of the worst it has to offer
importune, pernicious, disastrous, unpropitious
the richest stealing from the coffers
of those who have the least
infrastructures ruined by weather or by war
and what remains not fit for man nor beast
in times such as these
(and it's always such as these)
the best to do, I find,
is look at those we love
and in them
find peace of mind
