looking down below

far from the hills and forest glow

thousands of people start to show,

hastened by the rising day in tow.

perhaps filtered, I show my gaze

a perspective changed and lost in morning haze.

A thousand hearts beating as one

with so much love that can’t be undone.

despite standing on this higher ground,

I will always feel lesser beyond my mound.

my mind remedies a passion most would object,

to me, its millions of lives I need to protect.
