Fleece.

a poem

The world needs

to be wrapped

in warmed up fleece

allowing the softness

to envelop,

the warmth to permeate

and infiltrate

But not to pull

over our eyes,

For we need to see the

ignorantly-formed

intentions of those

who seek to control

us

to avoid the

fleecing of our

collective joy.

Let this warm softness

be our bond,

our protection and

connection

nurturing and

growing

our fierce will

to thrive

in community

and evade

the temptation

for complacently

neutral

immunity.
