When we’ve prepared for
hurricanes that don’t hit, why
is there some disappointment?
~
Do we, secretly,
long to shout defiant rage
into some almighty’s face?

When even Einstein
says knowledge must be paired with
thoughtful care, who can argue?
~
Wise fools and con men
leap immediately forth,
along with politicians.
And in that quest for
Ephemeral potency,
What all must they sacrifice?
~
What they don’t see is
the “all” they must sacrifice
includes their own selves.
What lets folks claim for
themselves what they’re unwilling
to allow others?
~
Those poor souls, without
any real power, yearn to
seize it however they can.
