It's What We Have To Do Poem by Diana van den Berg

It's What We Have To Do



Sometimes one has to summon
the last vestiges of one’s will power
and turn away
from blue mountain-top horizons
and fragrant forests
and plains begging to be galloped over
and in their place, build cement walls
to protect others from inclement weather.
