For Those Whose Hearts Are Wrecked With Pain
— on the Beirut explosion and protest from citizens
we seek healing for hearts wrecked with the pain of grievance
because home & everywhere familiar with our feet is torn and troubled.
you'd think our country is a furnace of sounds,
when she leaves behind echoes of fear.
our city sits on a conundrum of seething smoke
bearing the stripes of havoc and chaos,
from where the streets run into reigns of ruin and rubble.
I wish our government sees home
as sacred, and not a paradise of flames,
that fire could tear a country like a rag
and make citizens homeless in hundreds of thousands.
