So Easy!
it’s so easy!
it’s so easy!
fear comes barging in
so easy.
and death!
crisp and guileless.
it’s so common now.
it’s such an easy sight.
recalcitrant children
wrinkle their noses at it
and walk on so easy.
to get kidnapped.
and to never be
seen again.
so easy.
for courage to abate.
before this persistent
madness, for faith
and hope to become
second rate.
so easy!
to loose the history,
the family,
the life
in this ramshackle cluster
of laughter, of tears
in the folds of this
easy daily violence.
it’s so easy.
to cement the little pieces
of this broken life
by fear.
