hymn

she sings a hymn of change
while dancing 'round death and decay
as she moves through the streets of her homeland
elegant, despite the blood and mortar clinging to her dress
and finding possibilities of peace exhasuted
as she rounds each corner,
she upturns palms towards the clouds above
and prays for the salvation of her people
we watch her with fascination on the nightly news
captured on video, broadcasted live from the middle east
