Vantage Point
we’ve come so far
beyond paradigm
to where the few
know a rare place and time
complex new dimensions
misunderstood
yet seekers of truth
still seek the way
and the good
they cast a glance
at the growing storm
faraway
fanatic rants
jeopardize the safe and warm
will we make it
to the other side
will we rise above
the rising tide
can mankind cope
do we still hope
or is what we’ve achieved
threatened
on a slippery slope
it’s a race to the finish
to know how it ends
evil diminished
ill will portends
we build our walls higher
swarms of drones fire
evil’s army on the run
and the price will be paid
by daughter and son
