Unwary Prey 10/15/2001
We seek the day's calm sway, as new enemies steal it away. Old enemies still abide, while today's dangers still reside. Life is not what the surface portrays, constant attempts to better our days. Each day's danger lies in wait, rippling under humanities weight. Enemies of the flesh, mind and body, combine with those that toss us on land and sea. One falls from the enemy that eats within, another falls from forces of the outside wind. Like the antelope that walk where the lions play, life accepts the fallen and goes on with its way. Then there comes a predator rising above them all, causing life's tentative balance to crumble and fall. It stalks where no one can see its intent, humanity chases it to its lair and distains its scent. Will finding the predator erase a nations pain, when there are others to take its place again? We dare not turn the other way, least we become today's unwary prey, With enemies that hide behind religious lies, and cause us to fear the morning skies. Psalms 32:7 "You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Susan Hebert Ajaz copyright 10/15/01 Just after 911 poetrypublisher.com/sajaz
