Hardlyanyone got killed except thousands of the enemy, and many go around straving,holding their hands out in pictures, begging. Their houses, even the concrete and iron, they've dissappeared. These people now live camped in the open. Overhad stars keep telling their old, old story. You have this world. You wander the earth. You can't live in a room. - after we talked about this today I remember a poem by the long time pacifist William Stafford that, sadly, applies here:

Pretend You Live in a Room

Play like you had a war. Hardlyanyone
got killed except thousands of the enemy,
and many go around straving,holding
their hands out in pictures, begging.

Their houses, even the concrete and iron,
they've dissappeared. These people
now live camped in the open. Overhad
stars keep telling their old, old story.

You have this world. You wander the earth.
You can't live in a room.
