They left (Day 1438)



Astounded by a tsunami of disdain  who can look 

away  who can comprehend the fact 

that they left   they left to celebrate 

    in luxury  while millions of souls falter 

to tee off in the sun while children go without 

    breakfast  lunch  dinner  

to sip champagne while people prepare to lose 

    their homes  cars  freedom  lives

to consider  discuss  and argue the finer points

    while we try to carry on   to soften our anger 

    despite trauma so carelessly inflicted

do you ever wonder 

    how many endings a winter can hold  

and how many more   and how many more again

before spring  overwhelmed  struggles to arrive
