Powerful, David. Of its time. A call to arms, pen, voice.

The 'sting of sharp terrors'..... from a terrible few.

Powerful poetic words more poignant than ever in these times. The last line especially encapsulates everything happening in America today.

"The world is full of good people,

Inheriting the hate of a terrible few."

This is so clearly true and so easily forgotten amidst the static. Maybe we can let the hate pass through and dissipate?

Thanks for reaching out Jed! Yes sometimes it is important to stop and not react. Sleep on it, etc. unfortunately our world doesnt give a lot of room for that at the moment.
