Seldom is it that we
pause to consider just how
fortunate we are
to live with the liberty
to be what we will
to access clean air
water, medical treatment,
an abundance of foods
and climate-defying shelter
as though these are
all benefits of existence
reflecting our singular
value as human beings.
Until time and the
capriciously unnerving
tide of Nature invoke
eruptions on the Earth's crust,
its cooking core interior,
its vast and restless oceans
to diminish our hubristic
conceit culminating
in the anguish
of unfathomable suffering.
