Juan Garrido-Salgado # 19-19 The war remains far away


The war remains far away # 19-19

 

Bullets are images & sounds

Crashing into the TV room.

 

Humanity is Wilde’s Selfish Giant.

Prayer is unfashionable.

War remains far away.

Our response is silent & distant

As if an invisible soldier is assaulting our breath.






 

We tick yes or no.

Everything is like a shopping list of our needs for the week.

And our relationships become take away meals.
