A sign of danger in the distance,
"Leave now, do not show resistance!"
Shrubbery grows around the sign;
a hidden message no one can easily find.
You strain so very hard to see
this message meant for you and me.
For some . . . the growth is too thick for sight
and are taken in under plight.
Others . . . see the sign
and believe they know its meaning.
Are they sure?
They might be wrong.
As for me, the sign is clear.
I see it now as never before.
For me . . . there is a new sign;
within a dessert of despair,
"Find yourself my brother
and remember . . . take care!"
