Disjointed voices
in opposition
rising into argument
swept into a void

Thousands of points
of light
in a sky covering us all

as we seek solutions
a tug of war
between real and ideal
and every in-between

We fight without cause
and wound each other
words and weapons
and careless cruelty

A world spinning
off its axis
until we balance
our separateness
by joining together

Uniting voices
into harmonies
forgotten
in the anger
feeding off itself ~ Caroline A. Slee
