for kabul

Who does this?

Who kills mothers and babies?

Who attacks funerals? 

 

Where is hope

In a bullet-riddled maternity ward?

Where is hope

In a bloodied cemetery? 

 

Hatred is so easy,

It’s not even a choice.

I feel it already.

So quickly convincing me that

Revenge is justice. 

 

Isn’t it?

 

Can we hate

and hope? 

 

Or must we choose one?

 

 

In the aftermath of terrorist attacks on a funeral and a maternity ward in Kabul, Afghanistan this week.
