Abandoned homes
substituted by
fluttering tarpaulin
pretending to be tents.
Even homes with broken windows and hanging doors
are better than tents
on dessert grounds
surrounded by famine and arms -
or is this just an illusion
noon of this can really be used for anything -
only food, peace, respect and human help can do.
Spring can bring hope for many
although we have memories of past tension
surely we can bring hope in the present tense.
Again others word tricked my mind and sent me tumbling down this narrow road.
And we don’t even talk about the same things.
so much misery in the world, and yet so much hope…
wonderful! Yes, there is misery, but so much good, too.
Thank you Polona and Andrew – hope and good, yes maybe enough to do something.
