Stark days

So hard to believe people mean

such evil things

so much surprise despite warnings.

Dark clouds

lightning strikes

But after shock, folks are aroused

to lift their lights.

Stand for what’s right.

Know the power and strength that is kindness.

Black hearts do not win for long

History knows, peace is stronger.

Empathy is mighty.

Time for mindfulness and doing whatever you should

for good.
