Women carrying their bony infants"
How distance we feel from it, this emphasizes the fact the we see pictures and know it's horrible yet someone on the other side is living that, and it's not just a disturbing picture to them

Buildings sculpted by explosion

Earth wasted bare and rotten—
And all this while I have been shopping, I have

Been let us say free
And do they hate me for it

Do they hate me

Throughout the poem we see how a young person who is unaffected by all the war and death caused by the attacks might feel. Only seeing things through stories and images, but still feel a great guilt for such attacks. It shows us how we seem to take things for granted and understand how lucky we are to have the things we are until we lose them. This is laid out through impactful imagery, referencing the suffering of others and hyperbole to allow us to really be impacted by the horror of the event.]]> 2022-04-18 05:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hockinch2022/7ibd42p7p1fzxqrs/wish/2146592950
