Problems and Comforts
I see it now, as in a dream, the place where we are now,
our life, our home, our earthly biome, safer than before.
Yet in this time of safety, we're more fearful than before.
For all our steel mechanics, we feel so insecure,
fearing things we cannot see and events that are infrequent,
and at this time we are so blind to the danger lurking near us.
We quarrel over who has what while our world dies right beneath us.
We cannot seem to get along in groups of a great size,
we fight and swear and kill and steal, at the worst of times,
but we can be better and get along just fine.
We have equal opportunity, but maybe we should not,
some people couldn't care for a cat, much less a small child.
Yet they do and so some people suffer.
I really don't know all that much of life and all its riches,
but what I know is cats are soft and milk is good with brownies.
Its good to curl up with both if you are feeling sad,
and just forget, for a little while, these problems in our world.
