it is a long month
we have enjoyed warmer days
but now pray for rain
to Europe’s east war
We need human resources
not just munitions
nowhere is safe now
Kyiv is attacked day and night
only the dead rest
in the Holy Land
a new testament written
in blood of children
the wringing of hands
ringing of cash registers
versus body-count
now The Genocide
assumes a new currency
café talk topic
television news
enrages the impotent
as did Vietnam
now we have rain
count the hours until pay day
May is a long month
