There appears no other way around
what is in effect a personal dilemma
as hate begins and ends with dismay.
Why does it arise?
Where does it end?
Who has the answers?
What if anything
does in the end achieve?
More hate and horror
fixated upon death.
More upon the innocent.
So, what then?
Birth defects.
Untenable deaths.
Polluted mindsets.
Rivers and waterways under siege.
How on earth does it happen
when each is a life
of equal understanding?
That life, all life cannot be relieved
when a death and injury
cannot again, as the whole
ever again be retrieved.
