to the moon from earth
a single raven flying.
while on earth, a soul is dying.
mourners gather to weep and sob
a worker is fired from his job
he has to tell his kids and wife
an infant child begins her life
looking up at her mother's face
a public worker is disgraced
a new leader rises to power
all of this in the same hour
actions done at the same time
seen from above, all is but sublime
to see the horrors, famines, and wars
the tortured, widowed, and battle scars
the raven sees and well he knows
"futility" he utters as up he goes.
