Because you are far away

You think that I don’t know you.

That I can’t hear you in the night.

When you sigh.

When you cry.

But I do.

I can feel your heart aching.

I can feel your anger.

Your sense of helplessness.

Oh yes, and your wish

That you could wave a magic feather

And whisk it all away.

In a breath.

Whoosh!

Restoring human kindness.

I have no answers.

Like you, I fear the tide is 

Turning against us.

I share your rage.

You are not alone.

When will Peace find us again?
