History is

         i

passion made public

our days
dust of history's cloud
inconspicuous specks
in the eye
of the beholder

         ii

a receding wake

astern
the turbulent waters
give no clue
of our craft's
destination

          iii

a play writ large

cast of thousands
on a rotating stage
plot most confused
without promise
of a happy end

           iv

a flickering screen

with sound and color
turned way up
it is not obvious
who switched on the set
or why He chose
this channel

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
