Stepping Back... a poem

              Guessing What They Might be Thinking

   Stepping Back

We listened-
listened carefully
confused
by what you want us
to hear see feel think be
stung
by your venom...

We listened-
learned
that we would be framed
and blamed
no matter what

Stepping back
we quietly questioned investments-
time and aid perpetuating
every problem

Stepping back
our thoughts our own.

Stepping back.

Knowing every nation feels
'our' history and future
are more important than 'yours'...

Stepping back.

Disengaged.
