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.
