You Ask for a Poem for Peace

and I give you this :

 

it’s Gordon Ramsey

saying that it’s ok,

you tried your best ;

when the wellington

is raw

and the patrons

up and leave ;

 

it’s the MAGA

unloading their guns,

hugging Mexicans

who jump

the Rio Grande ;

 

it’s Trump

declining the

Presidency, selling

all his assets

and giving billions

to every women’s

shelter in sight ;

 

it’s Israelis

singing the songs of

Palestine, 

vacating

the West Bank,

rebuilding

the homes in Gaza

and reusing

their deadly drones

to deliver food ;

 

while Kim Jong Un

takes a good long

look in the mirror,

decides to

rearrange

his god-like hair,

don a rainbow shirt

while giving Vladimir

a call, asking him

to call off

all his soldiers,

beg Zelenskyy

for forgiveness,

offer trillions

in reparations ;

 

and in an alley

of urban blight,

Bezos carries beggars

to his mansion,

Elon giving chase,

 

offering rocket

trips to space—

free of charge,

 

saying love has

never looked better

from our bleeding ,

cobalt sky.
