This War ... and The Next

Broken glass,
shots in the night,
voices, shouts and screams:
impossible to believe
that this
is really happening.

Cradling
the unfortunate child
in my arms
I listen to their people
opening up
with machine guns.

They are right,
we are wrong.
We are right,
they are wrong.

Meanwhile

I look at this child
with a bullet
hole in her tiny chest
and I think
none of this makes sense.
