Our poet Colin Pink gives us a new Spring poem – a poem of conflict, of Gaza, while numerous wars rage on in this unhappy world. It is Day 498 of the daily new poems.
Spring sonnet
Spring brings a fresh crop of corpses
leaking bodies ebb their life away
a world filled with violent choices
displayed on our screens every day
faith in justice is constantly broken
it should be a joyous time but isn’t
all those dreams of peace forsaken
leaders want to keep us ignorant
we eat and sleep and get up again
carry on as if nothing is happening
see flowers bloom in a world of pain
as diplomats juggle words at the UN
so many people in Gaza are starving
while nothing happens again & again
Colin Pink
