We’ll Leave the Light
On
Some
name them family,
neighbors and friends;
some
maybe strangers seeking
refuge
from war torn
neighborhoods,
bombed out hospital buildings,
but others call them
uglier names,
threaten to toss them
back
(like fish too small to
keep).
Why share our bounty
with huddled yearning,
wretched refuse?
Why not just
extinguish
the lamp?
