Look at his poem Utoeya.


Utoeya


Far away, in Norway,
I have a daughter
Who once was also 14,
Who also enjoyed
Summer camps on islands
Like Utoeya.

Sad, yesterday,
All islands there
Far away from where
I live,
Were drenched red
And little flames of tears
Floated in stillness
In millions.


She is well.
ButLike the mothers of Gaza,
And,
The ones of Fallujah,
And,
The mothers of so
Many unknown killings,

The mothers of Utoeya
