at subsistence-survival levels with
regular outbreaks into refugee status
and millions starve because
we are still not one humanity
but if you think of the middle east
as the geographical heart of the world
and the emotional center of the earth
we see the immediate nations
at each other’s throats as usual
with the larger nations gathered
round as if at a cock fight or
schoolyard knock down
or imagine if grown sons
would return home to murder
their mothers and fathers
if that was the tradition the culture
because they didn’t want
to appear weak
