CayCay Godwin Poet Acrostic

Afghanistan

Atrocious thinking and violence are
Father fed to bed sons in hatred sheets
Gowned in anger and false ideology
Heisting their true natures to stimulate 
Abhorrent dogmas justifying violence and suffering - 
News of heartbreaking actions frighten the world
In ways that shadow box our collective fears, 
Subject us to senseless ignorance and brutality
Tapping us in a net of collective nightmares -
Attacking and torturing are no one's true nature.
None but God knows when and how love will overcome.

Jennifer Proxenos October 18, 2021 at 10:01 AM What a brilliant write CayCay - you have captured the terror and senseless killing of thousands of innocents - what do they gain from these atrocities, these inhumane ways of torturing, their absolute subjugation of women who bear their own kind - it is almost as if Hitler has risen from the dead. so well penned dear friend, Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Panagiota Romios September 10, 2021 at 9:33 AM Good versrses, Kai, best of lo to you. Hello? Don’t poets know what Sharia Law is? Best they know it...before they wonder why the Raluban acts as they do. Their purpose is to subjugate the world, kill Christian and Jew alike! Poets need to sharpen up on history, I think. News is all propoganda... Read the history....of this group yikes Pangie
