Cold Icy winds Hit my face,
as I watch mothers adjusting caps,
keeping babies warm.
Men don jackets, gloves, girls wrap themselves in a shawl,
all seeking warmth.
Clothes, blankets, food— small shields
against the harsh weather.
And yet...
As we see images:
babies, shot and wounded,
bodies with limbs torn apart,
children crying for morsels,
shredded, naked bodies lying exposed to the world.
Hospitals, schools, homes—bombed.
No warmth
Not from the weather,
Not from humans.
Nothing protects from
The Coldness of The Human heart
No warmth of kindness
It remains the Coldest
Colder than icy winds,
Colder than any lifeless form.
Colder than any dead organism
The Living, Breathing
Killer ColdHeart!
