How do you sleep at night
When you take another life?
What do you dream about
When you cause another pain?
What do you think about
When you take the life of a mother’s son?
Do you feel, do you think, do you dream?
Do you read bedtime stories to your children
After you have raped
When you have shot and killed-
Do you go home and make love to your wife?

i wonder!

I believe a part of your soul dies. A life taken, a life lost. War, violence, rape, abuse. Suffering. It’s the small acts that make a difference, a hug, a smile, a kiss. A warm cup of tea. How do you live when you take another’s life? I don’t believe you do. You simply exist, begging for forgiveness. Hating yourself, projecting on other’s. Let’s pray for a better world.

Your last few poems have made me so sad, I’m going back to bed.
Very moving, though!
