SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN DAYS

These days are a heavy burden,
seven hundred and seventeen days
witnessing a genocide;

have we gone a day
without seeing a body
of a murdered innocent?

Yet heavier the rubble
on the dead and the trapped living
under the ruins

of their bombed homes,
under the ruins
of their bombed dreams -

all the lives that were,
all the lives that should have been
for seven hundred and seventeen days.
