There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Hakuna Matata—we’re doing just fine.
Grit your teeth.
Tighten your belt.
At least you’re not getting bombed
a hundred miles away.
⸻
My salary hasn’t gone up—
the café prices have.
No avocado toast.
No small indulgences.
A house?
Don’t be absurd.
Renting for life.
But at least I have a home.
⸻
A billionaire’s son
gets married.
National news.
For what?
Another one—
drowning in millions—
struts past—
children in his wake.
⸻
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Say it again.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Everything is alright.
