New Year Unresolved
School,
having been occupied to billet
Soldiers, is
blown apart and left burning,
The numbered
dead lying beyond learning.
However
outrageous the national debt
There’s
money enough for bullets and bombs,
Even as
nurses stand on picket lines
And food
banks become overdrawn. The signs
Of climate
change are clear; snow becomes
By its
absence, or accumulation
Like capital
in trillionaires’ accounts,
A marker of
remarkable events.
Beyond the
mean confines of the nation,
A whole
world of possibilities lies
For
humanity, if only it tries.
D. A.
