Sunsets

a graphic poem

by Jim Bennett

In photograps all sunsets look the same but I have seen so many and all of them are different	you cannot photograph the way it makes you feel but you can feel that way when you look at the photograph	even if it looks like a thousand other sunsets but if you put that sunset on a billboard it is just another sunset	to everyone apart from you
you cannot photograph death smells anger pain or starvation you can photograph the effect	you can show stick figures frozen as they walk aimlessly with sunken empty eyes towards their death	put that on a poster post for everyone to see till it becomes just another figure walking to their death	eventualy it's just like another sunset to everyone   but it isn't is it?
