in
who suffered the most.
I'm interested in
people
getting over it."
from "Jerusalem", Naomi Shihab Nye
these homespun ideas
not new, just fashionable once again
that justice is actually in human hands
"peace not war"
pushed to the side
for the engulfing rage
we all feel
for somebody now
better to turn that anger inward
not to self-harm
but to self-warn
the enemy is never out there
it's in our heads
the more real for being there
grotesque vulture with timepiece in claw
cackling, playing us for fools
never at a loss, never misses a beat
when you hate
it's too late, too deep
no more time
to keep
