As truth lies bleeding on the floor
the greedy grasp evermore
I sense disquiet in my friends, in me:
What to believe? what to do?
Silence, disbelief, despair, and then:
Feet flat on the earth
Standing Strong in life
With hearty common sense
These are my truths for now:
- Most people mean well;
- Conspiracies are hard to organise; and even harder to keep secret
- Others may be careless, less often cruel
- I’d rather talk than turn away in silence
- I trust my instincts, my body, my heart
And here is my weakness:
I believe all will be well.
What if it isn’t this time?
