144 Days. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

144 days of destruction.
144 days of grief.
144 days of abduction.
144 days of disbelief.

144 days of bombing.
144 days of flight.
144 days of stomping.
144 days of slight.

144 days of cruelty.
144 days of deep pain.
144 days of impunity.
144 days of shame.

144 days of apathy.
144 days of inaction.
144 days of travesty.
144 days of no sanctions.

I hope in the next 144 days and forever we will see:

144 days of construction.
144 days of delight.
144 days of emancipation.
144 days of insight.

144 days of peace.
144 days of quiet.
144 days of ease.
144 days of rights.

144 days of kindness.
144 days of sympathy.
144 days of non immunity.
144 days of dignity.

144 days of empathy.
144 days of action.
144 days of sobriety.
144 days of sanctions.
