A Blessing

I've had this tab open for about a week and keep forgetting to share it.  

This piece is by Lee Allison Paczulla.  The full text is posted here. 

The first stanza is: 

blessed

blessed
are the ones who use humor to get by
the ones who could use a vacation anyway
the ones who fear for their life
blessed are the ones who are sick of it:
all the flawed logic, the security theater
