The world is a dark place.
I see tensions rising, bubbling, as rage and hatred spiral and stew; a toxic cocktail we all must face, and I am scared. I see hurricanes, massive destruction, attacks, a nation divided, and I am scared. I see humans struggling, persecuted, oppressed for things they cannot and should not change, and I am scared. I see our planet, lush and beautiful and dying, polluted by humankind in the name of civilization, and I am scared. I see people rally around opposing beliefs, clashing with dissonant chords and frenzied anger, and I am scared. I am scared for the future, bleak and unknown. I am scared for the end of peace and life as we know it. I am scared for every tiny infant, writhing and crying as they are brought into this uncertain world. I am scared for the ignorant, the flawed, the just, the kind. I am scared for us all, every last crooked soul who walks upon our aching earth, screaming, laughing, crying. I see humanity, and I am scared. I am humanity, and I am scared. By: Sarah Hayward -- Staff Writer |
