Sunday,
Still the Zimmerman decision is on everyone's mind. So, at least for yesterday and today I'm sticking with poems inspired by the current events.

Hang On
There's very little we understand these days.
Very little we care or need to understand.
The weight of it pulls at you, drags you down
into the same mud we all originally came from.
We have hope, we wish, we try to fight it.
But gravity has such large, powerful hands.
The numbers too always seem against us.
We do not control the tale being told as much
as we would like, as much as we try, we never
seem to get much farther than... all this, this thing
can be changed, turned around if we just try,
just sweat it all out a little bit longer. If we
just hang on a bit longer... it will work itself
out, it will be the way... the way it will be...
