Contrast Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

People are in the midst of a war, women, children being raped,
tortured, men being beheaded, all killed, murdered.

Yet, here it's business as usual, people are going to work,
getting their hair done, grocery shopping, going to the
movies, dining out.

What a contrast from one part of the world to another! It's
hard to wrap your mind around it all.

Here I sit, seeing both sides and writing about it, freedom
is what makes the difference I feel.
