The Goodwill Wheel
Staggering beside the carts, like dull warhorses,
we stumble along endless tracks and mud-souped ditches,
always stooped, intent upon the next step.

would be peace and love forever, so that we’d recall,

We collapse on the front lines,
No one can save us,
Because we see our neighbors in turmoil and turn away,
