Bloodshed in Myanmar

The sky is red by the blood being shed
The conscience of civilized world asleep
Where in the world is humanity being lead
Here is a corpse there is a throat cut deep

Vultures are feasting, dogs devouring
Devils dancing, angels clamoring
Monsters feasting, demons dancing
Guns tottering, weapons wielding

Is Muslim blood thinner?
Easy to be shed without remorse
Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and now Myanmar
And existing Al-Qaida, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Taliban’s curse 

Tortuous perils and vulnerability,
Fanatical sectarianism’s brutality
The two-edged sword of bigotry
Parochial savagery and barbarity  

Religious teachings innocuous
Be them of Buddha, Muhammad or Jesus
Where are your wits, where is the focus?
Insensitive, vicious and callous
Await the leaping Hell-fire’s tentacles
----

    Such a sad and horrible thing to take a life. I pray for peace for all the world and keep faith that all will love one another one day. God Bless.. Your Friend Debbie

    I feel your angst, Mohammed...man's cruelty and savagery never ends...still, we've got to believe that one day..perhaps not in our time, but peace will come..history has shown that Mother Earth cleanses herself when her cup is filled.. Take heart my friend! Love, Annalise
