Today

The world is a scary place today

Tomorrow is like an unopened book

An ocean of unknowns

The drip, drop of our fears rippling through

Paranoia pervades

Pulling people apart

Making them realize

What they have taken for granted for so long

But through this chaos

A flower of purpose blooms in my heart

The bright, red petals unfolding

People are suffering in the world

Their anguished cries of pain echoing the globe

I want to join the fight

Be by their side, helping them along

That is who I want to be
