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.


Excellent. The poem and the pictures. Very powerful stuff, Juan.
