A Georgia poem...

DIFFICULT TO BE HERE

Georgia 2008

take over  rid  democracies  want  whole control

energy   routes    rid     every   democratic   rid 

aggression   battle

ceasefire talks  long-term  hostilities

ceasefire    end troops   tanks  bombs    retake

unnerved   investors   sold    stocks

spiral    oil    gas   rankled

widespread civilian   casualties    catastrophe

dead    homeless    bombing   civilian targets

anguish   innocent   clutching   difficult   to   be here
