Enough to Deal With

We have enough to deal with
don’t we?
cruel rain and cloud and knife and
bullet,
priest and politician.
Somewhat the same is
true for wolf and bear,
always
hungry and thirsty and
walking somewhere.

Fine castles built,
long summer’s gathering,
a saviour ark,
these may give the driest tinder heart
just a moment’s
flint-struck
spark.
We have enough to deal with,
don’t we?
