Global Catastrophe

Fragile lives Hopeless cries Dad survives Daughter dies Around the world there’s no surprise Just closed mouths and dried eyes We shake our heads in disbelief They bow their heads in prayer and grief We move on while it’s God they seek We take things for granted while they are murdered each day of the week Little children Elderly adults Shot and slaughtered Their spirits revoked Refugees are raped and choked Starved and beaten even after bones are broke Men women girls boys Victims of indiscriminately evil ploys Tears of blood no tears of joy Weapons and human beings are toys International hopelessness Shrugged shoulders twisted lips Surrendered hands demonstrate this Mortality impacted Morality dismissed “This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper” -T.S. Eliot
