HOW MANY PEOPLE?

How many people

are being killed

while I write these words?

Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran,

Kinshasa's Congo,

Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine,

South Sudan, Sudan, Syria,

Western Sahara, West Papua,

even the Gulf despotates,

how many

as I write these words?

Lives lost as easily

as I write

my impotent words.
