Dear World

Dear World,

please

ease yourself.

Calm your distress.

Many, many

of us

are trying

to help you.

Hold on!

Breathe,

until your

topsy-turvy

turbulence

lays quiet.

I know

you have

been waiting

for far

too long.

But,

please,

allow

the ground

under our feet

to stay steady

long enough

for us

to unite

to ease

your pain.
