global games

by Julie Adams

countries play with
sticks n stones
while people run
for cover, for freedom
for their lives

An indictment of current events here Julie; unfortunately with much more terrible weapons and traumatic results.

Jewels, it is good that you hold in your poetic cup the human beings whose freedom and dignity are at stake.

In its very simplicity, this is caustic. Funny how just a few words can stay with you for days while a whole epic slips away in moments.

good allusion to "sticks n stones will break my bones but calling will not harm me" ..."when will (we) ever learn? " ..well said jewels
