Poem ~ Invasion

INVASION n. (i) invading with an armed force, (ii) incursion into a place or sphere of activity, (iii) unwelcome intrusion

Sometimes 
it’s not what
a word means 
but how its use
can blunt the heart 
or fuel fear
or ignite the cankers
of anger in 
the already fearful.

I do not know
what the answer is
only that I have to
try and understand
the stories
of those
who really need us.
