The New World



Why do we write a lovely poem 
when they are not reflecting the world
brutal and stark as it is
there will be no Putin, Zelensky or Biden 
in his rocking chair 
reading a poem jumping up and saying
the poet is right, let us bring peace 
We know what providence entails
it is time to clear the deck 
and kill millions of people, to give space
for a new beginning
until humanity thinks they are gods
when atheism, self-regard, destroy 
the cohesion between  the spirituality
of the god of the universe 
and humankind
