FRAGILE: This side up
Oh how fragile is our existence.
 Destruction and ruin only pinpricks away.
 So easily broken and cracked:
 A mirror, a glass, a child, an egg, a life.
 Just one step and over a cliff,
 Just one slip of the hand and it's gone. One click of a button can kill a million,
 destroy cities and towns.
 The frailty of humans is a curious thing:
 Feelings so easily hurt,
 Friends so easily vanished,
 Hearts so easily broke.
 Yet, How do we become stronger is the question I have yet to answer.
 Perhaps life and time shall bring us the answer,
 But, perhaps (and this the most terrifying of all)
 there is no answer .
 We shall never be strong, never
 rise up out of the destruction.
 
 Fragile we are, 
 and Fragile we shall remain.
