And Still the Planet Burns

We make political statements with cupcakes
While half the world burns
They can’t rebuild their broken lives
With our candy floss concerns

When Life

When devastating changes happen
Unexpected
Unforeseen
Seize the happiness you have and hold it close

Collecting Thoughts and Keeping Quiet

I’m fading away
Disappearing
Camouflaged into the background
Even as the world is fearing
