Breaking news flashes
across the screen
turmoil in the streets
raging as the ground shakes
illicit transactions
underhanded negotiations
corrupted elections
clinging to that last second
hundreds of thousands
homeless in despair
cleaning the flood
that has become their life
the bright lights
are long out
and all that is left
is to pick up the pieces

My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
