~ inked by the sensitivity you instinctively exude

A Poem by . serah .
"

somewhat poetic prose; i write merely to exercise my right to write; in a tragic incident, an assailant hurled racial slurs before shooting two indians in kansas - one of them died

"
monsieur scalpel,
every time an untimely death
speaks through the bullet 
of a gun that should never have
been found in the hands of someone
brimming with hatred
overflowing with venom
deranged because of
ratcheted up language
immersed in the imagery of paranoia
invoking something
as senseless as narrow nationalism
i'm reminded of you
and doctors without borders
and how
before i really read tagore's essays
critiquing nationalism
you taught me what a vacuous concept
patriotism truly is
your vocabulary
is the calligraphy of
your immaculate and impeccable
intellect inked by the sensitivity
you instinctively exude

i sensed that patriotism
has the potential to transport
anyone beyond the boundaries
of sheer sanity
at the cost of humanity
and i began to fathom the serenity
of the Hippocratic oath
it would be impossible for me
to repay my debt to you
for this one reason alone

The subjects in this poem all fit together perfectly. This is an elegant observation of a very dangerous issue. Thank you for writing this one.

doctors without borders is my favorite charitable organization....it is the anti-nationalism epitomized in actions and deeds...but how do we get the world on that wavelength?
