It was the best of times . . .
USAID shut down caused
global humanitarian crisis.
It was the best of times . . .
ICE agents wreak havoc,
innocents shot and killed.

It was the worst of times . . .
Cataract surgery
reveals brighter world.
It was the worst of times . . .
Family reunion brings
laughter and love.
It was the worst of times . . .
Sunshine always glows brightly
behind the clouds.
