~Humankind Lost~

 

I lay my head upon a pillow and close mine eyes to rest,
and try to escape the ravages of angst and pangs the 
days’ slings of arrows have wrought upon my heart.

I feel the trickling of tears slowly running down the temples
of my face because of the sadness and fear wrought, not
just upon me, but upon U.S.A. ‘personhood’ and all ‘humankind’
