BREAKING NEWS!!!

Should I listen to what they have to say?

Should I turn and look the other way?

Will it be relevant to my day?

Have I been cast in a role in this play?

DEVASTATION! CATASTROPHE! TERROR!

Are they voracious for my fear?

Do they hope my anxiety will keep me here?

Is this a calculated way to push my buttons or grind my gears?

The numbness has already dried out all my tears

WAR! FAMINE! DROUGHT!

How do I fit in this equation?

How do my actions impact a foreign location?

Am I inflicting an abrasion or a laceration?

How can I trust the powers of persuasion?

JOB LOSS! FORREST FIRES! BAD ECONOMY!

The endless barrage of havoc,

Has dulled my capacity to be empathetic

How can I make a change, when I am so small?

How can I make a difference, when I get lost in the all?
