Tree house

Cursed
Is the world
Where the best piece of literature
Is how to operate an AK-47

Barren
Are the cardboard homes
with bullet –holes
Where lives are blown off like dust-motes.

Comatose
Are the kids
Lying on the hospital  beds
Arranged , properly, in the ward, like installation art.

Infants
Born with revolvers
For their hands, shoot nurses and mothers
And bray with laughter.

Starving
Are the people
Whose rib-cages shows through
Their small emaciated chest.

Aren’t we all blessed, to be able to sit in front of our t.v., sipping cola and eating junk food?

          FUCKING.
          DOMESTIC.
          SERENITY.
