Sometimes it's like taking your kids
On a vacation and all they want
To do is fight it's exhausting
Trying to love people who only want
Power who find it hard to be kind
How long can the earth put up with it
To make a bounty and then have it
Thrown out like trash when
There's so much tenderness
Rushing toward us in every
Child's face hidden in every adult's
Self-protective demeanor
Sometimes the only thing that gives me hope
Is to be alone with you and weep
