In the Heart of the Beholder

In the Heart of the Beholder


Catastrophe
can sometimes be
a matter of perspective.

Do you descry calamity
in a caravan
crossing your borders
or children confined to cages?

Is fatality defined
by the forfeiture
of gun rights
or human lives?

At times, disaster
is just the buzz
of an alarm clock
calling us to rise.

Can you hear
the ringing?
