Earth Poker! ... (Surprise Us) Poem by Barry Van Allen

Nobody paddles the boat all alone,
because, everyone else is on board,
but, everyone has their own mountain to climb,
and each has a river to ford.

Nobody has to be blamed for the mess,
though we all are are a part of the reason,
the sooner we figure this out and admit it,
the sooner the sightless will see it.

Everyone has to be part of the fix,
if not, you're just flotsam and jetsam,
at best, your adrift on the ocean of life,
and at worst, your the cause of the problem.

Do I expect it to get any better?
I am sorry to say, I do not,
People are something to bet on,
when stupidity is in the pot!
