Someone wrote a book
"The
Diary of a Cat", sold
in a million dollar bookstore,
laced with
looky-loos,
sometime buyers, espresso drinkers
visiting.......finding
the latest
hot romantic novels...how to improve
their homes,
their sex lives;
while in a war, a race is dying,
the hot
breath of war searing,
tearing off limbs, dreams of a future
for thousands,
maybe millions.
Bargain books on every isle, tempting
plastic
cups with logos, expensive
chocolates, violins playing haunting
music.........while
beautiful people
talk, the casualness of their conversations
hiding the
lies that they live.
Wonderful hideouts for the children,
new worlds
to explore, new ideas
to inspire growing minds, sparking
their imaginations,
a love of the world,
And across the world.......in hospital
bed.....children
are dying, no books
for them.......no hope, no dreams,
their worlds
are brittle, falling apart
as the world watches and shakes its' head...
and someone
wrote a book.....
"The Diary of a Cat"..........
