Let not the parade
of our fleeting attention
pass quickly over
the heads of children
fallen upon the sword
of our nation's denial
about the state of fear
in which we reside.
Innocence calls to us
to raise our eyes to face
the unspeakable disaster
that inattention has wrought.
Driving this car while sleeping
has drawn us all into a chasm
from which all of us will arise
except the few who always
give absolutely everything
they ever have, and so much more...
