Kindness

from Historyworks Hosted by Historyworks

Poem written and performed by Michael Rosen, imagining what it would be like to be at home in what should be a safe space, hearing a knock at the door, and being confronted by impossible dangerous choices. KINDNESS BY MICHAEL ROSEN A knock at the door A catch of breath Find a way out Or is that way death? The danger of being heard The danger of being seen The danger of being us But what does it mean? Running in the dark Listening for voices Press on or hide? Impossible choices. The danger of being heard The danger of being seen The danger of being us But what does it mean? A knock at the door Is this the place? The handle turns A kindly face. The danger of being heard The danger of being seen The danger of being us But what does it mean?
