Manon's Garden

Dissatisfied

My friends,
I am truly glad
that, contemplating fire and smoke
and bodies broken
in addition to the number of citizens
worldwide
who feel increasingly justified
in cursing you and me,
and the possibility,
however remote,
of complete obliteration,
you retain the common sense
and presence of mind
to be able to sleep.
Perhaps
I will learn your secret
before I die.
