Amber Alert

Unsung

Unseen force so visible

Wisps of steam emerge toxic

So small is my effort

Do we think alike?

Untold story so powerful

The left hand is deaf

The right only shouts

This nation once a dream now forsaken

Unscheduled stop lightens the load

Burdens transferred to another

Weights shifted to a mother

How long can she last?

Un-foreshadowed black cancer swells

Death’s imminence looms heavy

Apathy’s intolerance skips along

Only the young shall see in the end

Geez. My macho outdoorsy gruff brother is ALSO very good with prose in the poetry world. What's not to love?!
