The poem is about waking in the morning and reading the newpaper as I enjoy a cup of coffee. I try to point out all the depressing events taking place in this world whille I am insulated from them in my little mountain cabin..

I Rise I open the windows of my humble adobe I breathe in the mountain air I make a pot of coffee Then read the News... Recession, inflation Homeless, addiction Waste on our streets Men and women on the mall Lead in the air Another one falls Rifles galore Rockets hit Kyiv Russia waring Men take aim, insanely proud Little ones dying Africa starving Immigrants waiting Refugees seeking It makes me ill I open the windows more I breathe in the mountain air I see deer in the meadow below
