What to do with

a world gone bad.

How to be sure

you don’t go mad?

Can you find comfort

in isolation?

Is there a place

that provides insulation?

There is no escape.

Turn on the TV;

Pick up a newspaper;

Don’t like what you see?

Yet the fact remains

we are more, not less,

at peace to face and

work to fix the mess.
