The first of June Sun is shining Wind is tolerable Air is fresh Birds are flying Chipmunks feeding Squirrels scampering Virus weakening Prayers being answered Waiting is tolerable Riots are sickening Destruction very costly New deaths are not the answer Civility must rule We do not need fiats We know what is right Cannot succumb to herd mentality Must be our own leaders Set example for others Be peaceful Even while watching terror We know the answers and Whose hand to hold Each pattern unique Some cherished Many unacceptable Seek out the truth Assumptions are risky Good people suffer Often perish Then regret A survey of damage An analysis of cost A distillation of waste Incredible pronouncements In spite of this Tragedy continues Segments of society are gleeful A cherishment of destruction Breakdown of morality Crisis is opportunity When will we ever learn?
