Author’s note: I wrote this poem decades ago. What and where were the tragedies? Who was that announcer named Bob? I don’t remember. And unfortunately, that is what makes it timeless. Earthquake, hurricane, drought, flood, tsunami, blizzard. It all happens to “them.”
I believe my writing has improved since then. The plight of the world has not.
