whose help
might you need
to release
a few of the burdens
that ought to leave
your mind, your heart?

for the sake of your self
and others’,
seek, knock, ask.

Do not accept
brutality and cruelty as normal
even if it is sanctioned.
Protect the vulnerable and
encourage the afraid.
If you are brave,
stand up for others.
If you cannot be brave –
and it is often hard to be brave –
be kind.

stony hearts—
break the thrall
of hateful fear—
deliver thy children

forged to

diminish &
destroy
