Victims of War

Written on the: (Biblical Calendar) 14th Day of the 7th Month, 5775 (Gregorian Calendar) 27th of September, 2015 The archway with candles lit around it Illuminating it's hollow beyond the mass grave Of fallen bodies of men, women and children Who lie peacefully in prominence. A widow sheds a tear, Dressed in black With a veil shadowing her face, She weeps until her eyes bleed And until the ground is soaked with her sorrows. Dusk settles The sun deviates it's reflection from the bodies of the fallen, And once again the darkness reigns for twelve hours Where evil revels it's deceitful intervention. The moon is arrayed in it's light But the dust and smoke of buildings bombed And houses torched, engulfs the beauty of it's resurrection, With the smell and taste of somberness and melancholy Stained with the absence of death and vile.
