REVEAL

You've learnt so much
But what have you learnt of yourself

You have blundered in action
Plundered through hate

A complicit of judenrat and black slavers
They shout come here or I will kill you
Others promise eternal life

Which is the way for you
Or are you frozen
Like a buridan donkey
Betwixt stick and carrot

Awake dumb ass
It is Palm Sunday
Now is not the time for stubbornness

A gas explosion kills a girl in Aleppo
A young man on the Somme
A mother in Mauthausen

22 premature babies die in an electric fire
In a maternity ward in Baghdad
12 men walk away from their beloved
His mother wept waiting

And I waited for your light
Light on the begonia
As it came through the curtain
Revealed on angel wings
Written by whale
