Haiku by the fireside

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Smart bombs hit tents
Bin sit in his roomy cave
Smoke American cigarettes.

Earthquake in India
Thousand of innocents died
Declare war on God?

Men jumped off window
Trying to hold on to air
The spiteful laughed.

Let’s bomb Kabul
And destroy every building
Is there any left?

The British PM
So full of Christian fervour
Fights more than terrorists.
