Bell the Cat, S'Il Vous Plait

Terror takes its toll. Revenge makes humanity bleed - profusely. An elegy breaks the eerie silence. Sneaking suspicion fills the air. Wary eyes searches beliefs in the heaps of flesh and blood. Ransacked hope seeks refuge in your heart. Reincarnate Socrates within to ask a few questions Who makes monsters? Who sells arms to them? Who gains from theses conflicts? How many babies die unfed? How many fields are still barren? How much wealth would you carry, after death? How many Seegers you need - to sing? How many Lenons you need - to make you imagine? How many Poets you need - to dare? To bell the cat. 25.11.15 Contest : Haibun Freestyle Sponsor : Scott thirtyseven

You've taught me something- to "bell the cat", so now I feel much more learned. And your poem has caught me by my intellect. Great piece of writing. Thanks for trying out my new poetic form, and for entering it into my contest.
