It embraces and comforts! <br /> <br />'What does? ' <br /> <br />To know I am across the street, <br />From where conflicts are debated... <br />And attracting some like treats! <br />While I have errands to run and complete, <br />Without the slightest curiosity... <br />To stop my feet. <br />I am blessed to identify a mess, <br />That does not affect my rest, peace or sleep! <br /> <br />'But this is our reality! ' <br /> <br />I know. <br />I know!<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-our-reality/
