Strewn

Written: August 17, 2025, for contest by Joseph May

        *************

Strewn
book packs
prove space blast

a widespread wreckage
firefighters clear the road
folks glad with drivers beeping

"flail fickle form of firefighting."

Lasaad, there is such a broad depth of emotion in your lines. They reflect the lack of empathy of many people as they only focus on their own lives, their schedules and their agenda. When doing retreats I always encourage people to be aware, to lift up a prayer when they hear an ambulance or fire engine, see a disabled car or an accident. It doesn't take but a few seconds to reach into the life of another person with prayer. Best wishes for a win. Sending you blessings, dear friend.
