IN A WAR

TEACHING POEMS
In a war, people die.
In a war, innocent civilians die.
In a war, innocent people get detained.
In a war, lives get destroyed.
The enemy is not the only thing that kills in a war.
Panic spreads far and wide, like a plague killing anything and everything.
Paranoia spreads far and wide, like a plague killing
anything and everything.
We saw it in World War II.
Innocent Japanese who did nothing wrong,
Innocent Japanese just trying to live their lives.
We saw it after 9/11.
Innocent Arabs who did nothing wrong.
Innocent Arabs just trying to live their lives.
Yep, panic and paranoia spreads deep into our souls.
