care came in today’s mail
staring at the logo, her face appears
woman in video angry about the lack of clean water
death to children
amidst all the killings
no one claimed responsibility for hers
odd that
even the overwhelmed iraqis demanded her safe return
language, marriage, caring made her theirs
wondered then–and now again–
who did she threaten most
easy enough answer
who wants to face that truth
who kills an angry woman for caring about water supplies
ugly truth
yes who kills a little woman for her anger and knowledge
we do we do we do we do
is it conscience or cowardice that no one claims this mighty victory?
it is the Margaret Hassans these silent guns fear most
why else disappear a little irish woman in iraq
yes, care came in the mail today pleading
“Please help us keep children alive.”
Margaret’s motivation
warranted a death sentence
clearly care is dangerous to one’s health
beware
