More or Less (8am)

This morning the sun rises with the cold

more deaths, more bombs,
more martyrs, less faith

more prejudice, more fear
more war, less peace

more news, more us
more them, less many

more panic, more caution
more grief, less life

more anger, more hatred
more flight, less homes...

gravity expels us, 
the universe disappears 
above the cloud's golden underbelly.
