What Price
We stand on the precipice of war . . .
a single step, a breath off balance
over the cornice, no way back
treacherous as a frozen waterfall
crash upon the rocks, no salvation
the eternal flame, glass.
Missed communication ignites passion
beliefs fought in the name of religion,
mired in a cesspool of oil.
Do we stand alone?
Will our best efforts prevent pestilence
or exacerbate the pungent odor of terror and burned flesh?
What price are we willing to pay?
What price for freedom?
