We Will Be Ready..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

We Will Be Ready.....



writing upon the surface of
the water
foams of the sea sprung from
winds and seagulls
hovering for some fish from
the grey clouds
upon a cold morning by the
port

out there the silhouettes of
fishing boats and horizon
fill our view of this earth

while we wait we take coffee
and little talks about what
happens when our small world is
taken away from these terrorists

how are we in this waiting
contentment our inability to carry
arms and be like them willing
to kill and die if necessary.

we dread blood and we cannot
afford another bloody revolution
which caused the disappearances of
our forefathers.

when pushed against the wall
what can be done? we look at each
others' eyes and arrive at the
same conclusion: we will be ready.
