Meeting Johan Galtung

7000
Philippines 

by Linda Bansil

Just today I woke up
from the sounds of choppers
flying above our pathetic roof
these I know is the third coming
of green monkeys .....brutes

They never consulted me
An easy wizzy cold prey
now I am reduced by these choppers
these choppers will be chopped
bravely and unwisely motivated
by these drastic looking men in green
but we here, are people too
before we acquire the deficiency
syndrome to understand
leave our bushes....in peace.
