All you really need
Is a little help
From a friend
First, a tangent.

I need just one of these
So I let it be breath
Layers of mystery
Peeled away
By time
Politics
And Money
And so its stories tell us
A world all out-of-kilter
At war, and in poverty
Has Happy Endings
I no longer have the energy for hate. It brings me no pleasure, no relief, only tension, pain, anger.
