Resisting the threat


Our awareness of violence 
Elsewhere in the world 
Looms overhead, a menacing cloud, 
Threatening to overwhelm 
 All of our positive actions and thoughts,
 Poisoning our every interaction 
With an undercurrent of rage and frustration. 
Breathe deeply, and resist the temptation 
 To righteousness and anger; 
 Let it fuel, instead, a renewed impulse 
To kindness and compassion.
