Surrounded


 
most of us no longer hunt

for what we don't see, instead

we are predisposed to assume

that our "born again" attitude

is the only ticket we need

to attend the dance we were

not going to be invited to

since our diminished hope is

surrounded by the sights and

sounds of emptiness and despair

and conventional wisdom tells us

we have no more crosses to bear.
