You can cover the world with a sigh, if you try.

You can cover the world with a sigh, if you try.
You can cover Ukraine and Palestine.
You can cover Sudan and far beyond lands.

You can cover the world of people with a sigh—
The world of nature is equal parts beneficent and cruel.
Seems fair to me—
The world of people deserves a sigh.

Just one, maybe first thing in the morning.
To acknowledge and complete the mourning.
For the world of people is cruel and unjust.
You can act a fool if you must,
but you cannot deny this world deserves a sigh.
