Anti-War Haiku Wall
X Day - March 19th 2003
(in GMT time)
prayers and candles in a world of phallic bombs and game plans
marlene 3/20 12:56
this morning signing a letter of consent for unauthorised absence
another reason to fear as our children take to the street in protest
6pm back to an empty house having to trust the protest won't turn into a riot
at thirteen thinking they know it all we had agreed they would stay local
a call from a mobile too much excitment in such a young voice
time to implement teachings in gandhian non-violent resistance
part of the curriculum on Citizenship fulfilled past teachers expectations
sprite 3/20 8.36 am - 6 pm
cruise missile strike
quakers stand on the corner
holding candles
Heather 03/20 6.54am
soon the night --
the butchers begin
their workSerge Tomé 8.31 pm 03/19
will the missiles
switch off the stars
this spring night?
burnt wings
of butterflies, of birds,
of human lives
blow, desert wind, blow,
fill the eyes of the fool man
with sand!
