THE ONE HUNDRED

Israel is killing a hundred people per day
in Gaza, on average.

Bring into your mind the faces of a hundred people
you know, have known, during your life.

Family, friends, neighbours, school friends, fellow
students, people you have worked with.

Some claim a human being actually has trouble
to remember the faces of a hundred other humans.

That ours are still minds of hunter-gatherers,
small family groups coming together few times a year.

All the people you would ever knew back then
half a hundred or little more.

Try it nonetheless, child of long gone hunter-gatherers
living in a new and more brutal world,

and then think of them, the one hundred,
killed in Gaza, each day, for soon seven hundred days.
