HOW EASY I HAVE IT

Almost midnight,

I haven't put on the lights

having sat before the laptop

since the Sun set

and light went

and darkness came

and I wrote

                    poems

while I knew

that missiles were launched,

bombs were dropped

and lives ended,

parents mourning beside

children's broken bodies.

children mourning beside

lumps of bloody, mangled flesh

that were their parents.

Now I will get up,

I will put the light on,

I will go to the kitchen

and I will drink a glass of water,

I will put the coffee machine on,

I will make a sandwich

waiting for the coffee to drop,

and while I do this,

while I will eat my sandwich

with a mug of coffee,

hungry people will be killed,

scared, when new missiles

hit their targets,

when new bombs are dropped.
