When all is unsatisfactory
And things that are
Are worse than nothing

When windshear vitiates transportation
Aircraft fail to land safely
Cars are blown off the thoroughfare

When reports come in
Of the machinery of war
The chemistry the radioactivity of war

When weather moves
From amusingly changeable
To threateningly hostile

When memories invade
Of infestations and injustices
In sleepless nights alone

When doubts creep in
That the future might be even worse
Than the bitter past

When nothing is satisfactory
And nothing is worse
Than things that are

When emptiness worse than satedness
And vacancy worse than occupancy
Attend your projects

Then throw it out
Or carry it out
