the daily news

between
the bodies, the tanks, bombs
being dropped
there's a commercial
for soap,
another one
for a Caribbean cruise
and then back
to the refugees
with all their 
belongings on their backs.
babies crying,
mothers
bent over, knowing
that they'll go home again.
and then
there's a new car,
a new truck.
one per cent financing.
a cream to smooth out
your wrinkles.
maybe it's time for a nip
and tuck.
then back
to the charred body lying in
the street.
