I scanned the headlines for the day’s losses
and found on page 3
3 dead in Sinai
horrendous surely.

But I thought it’s a big world
and less than 5
across the globe
is not bad – right?

Until I realized that what I originally thought
a sports story was actually driving
the count up exponentially
what with scores dead
in Nigeria.

We’ve such a long, long
way yet to go.

Blessings and peace
to all good sacred people.
