Just Out Of Curiosity! Poem by Joe Sadeghloo

Forgive me for wondering,
Forgive me for questioning,
Forgive me for being myself,
Forgive me for being human!

Forgive me for NOT being a TARTUFFE, indulging in hypocrisy!
Forgive me for NOT being afraid to be labeled NAMES!
Forgive me for NOT classifying humans by race, color, national origin, religion, etc...
Forgive me for being human!

Just out of Curiosity
On Thursday, April fourteen,2022
A highly paid TV Anchor lady breaks down in tears
while reporting on the deaths of the Ukranian civilians and children!

Just out of Curiosity,
It occurred to me,
Where was this weeping Anchor lady and associates
to shed a tear, to express sadness and sorrow
for the deaths of THOUSANDS of
Iraqi, Afghani, Yemeni, Syrian, Somalian, Ethiopian,
Sudanese, and so on and so forth, civilians and 'KIDS'! ?
