SO COMFORTABLE, a poem


While Mother Nature roars
outside my patio door
rain, snow, howling wind
I drink my coffee
in a cozy kitchen

While the heads of state
kill soldiers and civilians
with their bullets and bombs
I watch television
in a cozy easy chair

What can anyone do to stop
the slaughter of innocents
other than wish and pray?
Perhaps cast a single vote
in a cozy polling place
