being in this physical realm
trying to achieve an extraordinary existence
not only to survive, but to thrive, and hopefully enjoy

yet what happens when nature dictates the next steps
how do we move forward
how do we address the necessary
and remain sane

these external forces unsettle us, can even unhinge us
consciousness, intellect, and reasonable emotions
grant us the ability to improve our situations
gaining knowledge is our sword to defeat that which can harm us
as we decide how to best cope with the onslaught

living is not an easy task
be aware and have courage
right the wrongs
protect the innocents among us

enjoin your community to protect the whole
and always…
love, love, love, and love some more
