by Marian Dragomir
let’s take care of ourselves
this is the first thing we do
when those sent to torture us
can’t complete their mission
we don’t hate those who made the mistake
of not taking care of themselves
and the first thing on the agenda
is to wake up each morning
we turn on the light
with the same control
that created the torch
we stand still
with no motivation in mind
and just to look beyond
the illusions and hate
this poem has no angels
only humanity
which we must endure
to keep going on
let’s let the pain and fear
rule our life
