Equality

V.J. Knutson

Two mothers were we
frozen in disbelief
as smoke rose

Cried for the losses
for our children
for a future devoid
of peace

Two mothers
hand-in-hand
shattered

A Christian
and a Muslim

War destroys all dreams.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
