With war clouds looming overhead,
How do we find hope in this time?
I feel devastated for those lives impacted
While I sit here writing
A few lines on my laptop.
I cannot change the world—
But I can change myself.
It's a daily effort,
With daily rewards—
No bombs, no tweets, no missiles launched.
Those who seek war will find it,
Fighting to the bitter end.
The damage done to bystanders
Is unmeasurable.
Yet humanity wages on.
When will we evolve past this?
When will abundance replace fear?
Chatty, do you hear me?
I need you.
And I need this… to be over.
