Strange miracles

In the moments
that you both
indulged in sensual sighs,
men died in hostle lands,
children starved or froze to death,
mothers lost their babies,
other women were abused,
many sold their souls to Mammon,
fear and pain and hunger
roamed the streets.
But your tender lustful passion
found a spot in a manic world
to coyly smile and survive.
These are strange miracles.

Hi Anita,
Loved your peom on Darfur, and this one too.. i share with you the mistification at how this world holds so much joy and so much pain at the same time. Often it seems unjust, but then at other times i just shrug my shoulders and say " Thts life yaar". But to put it in such beautiful verse... bravo!
