The Same (a #poem)

It's when you dance
that you move
without going somewhere


Why should you want to move
when you're okay
being where you are?

If we want to move,
can we blame others
for wanting the same?

Thank God for the Allies! Right?

You have seen the pictures of starving children. Bombed, driven from their homes and starved to death by an evil group of people whose sole goals was to exterminate a large group of people for the 'crime' of 'being different':
The Allies - succesfully - fought this inhuman genocide and helped these people to find a new home. By shipping the survivors to a dessert in the Middle East. And vowed 'Never again!'

But it ís happening again. This picture of a young child dying from starvation was not taken in 1944. It was taken in 2024. 

Yazan al-Kafarneh and tens of thousands of other children are being bombed and starved to death by people claiming to be 'the Übermensch'. Do you think the allies should help again?

Good news: they are. Less good news: this time around the allies are helping the murderers.

Down he Went (a #CirclePoem)

Down he went 
Into the Dark
To save her 
From damnation
Did someone just
light a match?

He couldn't see
but smelled the sulfur

If this was Hell
Where was 
the screaming
of tormented souls?

Blind and deaf
He continued on his quest
Down he went
