Have An Ice Day


     If I were to write itch

      using a nib without

      ink I would only be

   scratching the surface.

It is similar with the dept

of empathy and emotion

    with regards to Gaza,

  how does one in poetry?

  Pain anger and fear are

     feelings we have all

experienced, but hunger

and humiliation not many.

  Whom amongst us has

been homeless helpless

  worst of all abandoned

  by ones own kit and kin.

  History, or their story is

not ours, it appears, we

  are institutionalised by

  American hypothermia.
