Wings Poem by Mariela Griffor

Wings



Wept on the head, the teeth, the silent blind eyes,
but given the situation the country finds itself, it is
convenient to follow this procedure and instruct all
lower courts to follow suit. Meanwhile the prisoners
were killed. It was February of 1976. The sunlight on
the bodies falling from the helicopters into the ocean.
It was convenient, the press release said:
Given the situation in which the country finds itself.

it is said ''History, teacher of Life''. Problem is that us, human beings, are the worst pupils.. too dumb to understand the past lessons.. Thanks for sharing, Mariela
