when others get giddy I get nervous--

they don't know how fortunate they are--

it's easy for them to talk about what others should do--

they think cupcakes and gold pieces rain down on everyone--

but from what I know of those here with me

positive thinking doesn't always yield positive results--

many had faith and leapt--landing on their heads--

they prayed they hoped they turned to their 'holy' shield

and got shot down anyway--teary eyes looking up to the empty sky--

how easy for the fortunate to talk--unless someone

experiences the pain others feel they just don't get it--

and even then some of them may extrapolate and learn--

but the rest may just wander stunned--demanding justice

which is another disguise for vengeance--

we cannot talk to our own loved ones at times--thus the eternal

unanswerable question--We are all One--but which One?
