The men wept and the women wept, children, dogs, cats and grandparents wept The theist, the atheist and the agnostics all wept The politicians in their boastful and pristine offices wept The homeless man with his homeless bride wept Homemakers in their homes, Chefs in their kitchens, Workmen on their lunch breaks all wept I wept and you wept, we wept together Tears that fell all around us like burst banks and levees The dadaists in Russia wept The existentialists in the Ukraine wept The absurdists and nihilists of France even wept What a sight The post-modern Christians and neo-vaudevillians weeping still, The grounds of the deserts in the south that begged for moisture on a regular basis, wept The slick icy glaciers in the far north continue to weep My home was full of tears, as I believe was yours, The news, too much to bear, Words that cascade from mouths, wept The shadows and the sun that cast them wept also It was a sight to behold, the moment we all discovered the true essence Of empathy.

Not That We Were Here Before But That We Are Here Still
The men wept and the women wept, children, dogs, cats and grandparents wept The theist, the atheist and the agnostics all wept The politicians in their boastful and pristine offices wept The homeless man with his homeless bride wept Homemakers in their homes, Chefs in their kitchens, Workmen on their lunch breaks all wept I wept and you wept, we wept together Tears that fell all around us like burst banks and levees The dadaists in Russia wept The existentialists in the Ukraine wept The absurdists and nihilists of France even wept What a sight The post-modern Christians and neo-vaudevillians weeping still, The grounds of the deserts in the south that begged for moisture on a regular basis, wept The slick icy glaciers in the far north continue to weep My home was full of tears, as I believe was yours, The news, too much to bear, Words that cascade from mouths, wept The shadows and the sun that cast them wept also It was a sight to behold, the moment we all discovered the true essence Of empathy.
Please be kind to each other.
