What Can One Person Do?



-:-

Alarm sounds. I stay down. Trying to postpone another ringing phone.

No rooms. Dread looms and families filter in. There's no room at the inn.

What can one person do?

-:-

Phone rings. Reckoning. Try to buy some time. A beggar's paradigm.

Court stays. Cold days. There's no way they can win. There's no room at the inn.

What can one person do?

-:-

Past noon. More ruin. I have no miracle. The shelters are all full.

Sit tight. Dark night. No magic to put in.There's no room at the inn.

What can one person do?

-:-

Drive home. Guilt's known. Because I have a roof. It's hard to stay aloof.

Self-blame. Who's shame? I can't get past the sin. There's no room at the inn.

What can one person do?
