What is this madness?
This mass hysteria.
Brutal killing of innocent lives
in the name of religion.

I look at devastation and ruin.
Each time I scroll through media
A new propaganda of the war
pops up.
Hatred and revenge reign.
Denial and retaliation is all
I can see.
Stop, I say.
shunning away the thoughts to
Return to my books on fascism.

But how can I keep my thoughts chained?
When another rhinoceros in
on the loose.
And I must not capitulate!

Ibsen, Ibsen, I need to focus on
realism.
But everything is scattered.
Uncertainty rising with each action.
No slogan for peace or love.
Celebration of revenge in
crimson red.
For now I must not capitulate!
