This being alive
is hardly worth it.
Life burrows
into courage
without provocation.
It leaves people
weak and defenceless,
children homeless
In attack,
wounded,
needing help
from the wounded.
To hope is unnecessary
because there is no hope
for most.
A few benevolent people
are outstripped
by bureaucracy
and the selfish demands
of others….
God, you say!
God?
He sodded off
a long time ago.
