                                                    Natural Things

                                               If there has to be
                                               such things
                                               as tragedy
                                               then please,
                                               come a bit
                                               more naturally

                                               I can handle
                                               flood and famine
                                               diseases and tornados
                                               I can even handle
                                               disasters
                                               under other labels

                                               but terror from
                                               mankind
                                               that is too much
                                               to bear
                                               we rush from here
                                               to here to hear
                                               then give our dare
                                               and care

                                               tread carefully
                                               our heroes
                                               walk your walk
                                               and zero
                                               in on all our
                                               problems deep
                                               soon, soon, Morpheus
                                               shall let you sleep

                                               let us not count
                                               on any others
                                               but rely upon our
                                               country’s brothers
                                               if others join
                                               our excursion
                                               hopefully they shall
                                               know our version

                                               we give much
                                               so readily
                                               will others stand
                                               so steadily?

We'll see. Perhaps American bashing will even become unfashionable. Thank you for your words during this. I am reading alot, responding very little. I mostly don't know what to say.

Great piece, Sunshine! It expresses so much and yes, the brothers will answer and come to the aid. After all, what is the point of having those brothers if they don't help in the time of dire need?

The way this reads is really smooth and says enough without going overboard. One of the better pieces I have managed to read.

Thanks for posting this and great work.
