Her name was Sara.
She was thirteen years old.
A missile exploded in her room.
What traditional pattern should I use to write this poem?
What poetic expression should I use
to give coherence and continuity to this event?
The girl’s dead body was trapped
under cement and brick fragments.
While her home was consumed by the fire.
The poets of the modern world had sung against:
Nazism, Communism, Capitalism and dehumanization.
Their authentic and sincere voices have not ignored:
injustice, genocide and occupation.
The body of the girl was just a mass of burned flesh and bones.
Perhaps is the time to create new poetic expressions
to denounce the ideologies of the creators of wars.
Her name was Sara, she was thirteen years old,
and I found no Poetry for her.
