Blood On Your Hands

Killing women and children Is absolutely unacceptable Executing sick and old men Is obviously low and despicable. You can make countless speeches You can invent endless excuses Slaughtering so many is genocidal Hurting so many can never be justifiable. The world is now less peaceful and civilized A cease fire is long overdue and warranted This is barbaric; too many leaders are demented. When will decency and humility be exercised? Lies won’t fly, because they have no visible wings This is horrific; too many have blood on their hands.
