no one leaves home
unless home is a mouth of a shark.
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city
running as well.
you have to understand -
no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land.
somali poet ~ warson shire
these snippets - a powerful poem
offered as a powerful plea
after a three hour plus performance
to the audience ..to the theatres..
from hamlet..b. cumberbatch -
until home is a sweaty voice
in your ear saying -
leave, run away from me now.
i don't know what i've become
but i know anywhere is safer than here.
peace is healthy for children
and other living things.
