who knows
where this will finish,
when it does
all we can do
is make certain
we have prepared,
that we have emptied our tanks
of life and left
our good works behind
knowing that we have
done the work
to lift others -
to help them
find their best selves -
these are the thoughts
that must drive our work -
that carry us -
when the days
present their challenges

Costs
each moment
is another cut
from a knife
held by those who
are supposed to lead;
they stab at us
without respite,
nothing is good enough -
no effort,
no result -
we are always made
to feel wanting;
there is no enough,
there is only more,
demanded from the backs
of those who are broken,
it is the only cost
they aren't concerned about
At Work
what stands before you,
the weight upon you,
it is not personal,
the world is not conspiring
against you,
you have not been chosen;
we are but specks
of the finest dust,
we are just part of the machine;
the obstacles we face
are the circumstances
of living a life,
I can still take the air
there is breath in my lungs,
I am nothing
I have choices
I am free
