What is a Loss of Life

What is a loss of life?
The loss of a single life
is insignificant, when compared
to thousands of lives lost during
wars, pestilence or starvation.

Is this the kind of world we
envisioned for our children
and ourselves? I think not,
yet here we are again still
engaging in these actions
due to water, oil, natural gas
or greed.
Indifference becomes intolerable.
