Still not sure if
it feels right to
participate in what
some might construe
to be a frivolous
endeavor while
people are dying 
at the rate of an eight 
year long police action
every thirty one days 
no wonder so many
are spending a few 
minutes each day 
determined to spell 
a five letter word
knowing it is all
they will have to solve
in their lives for 
the next twenty four 
hours at least
