For How Long

For how long must the world sufferer fallacious arguments, that war wins the right to rule, scarlet, the stains of blood, as leaders eviscerate their people, internal organs strew escarpments, curious vultures bide their time, waiting till the dying die, to bewilder, plunge innocents into the trenches of war, tantalize with fallacious promises of wealth and good health, do leaders, they create a vortex, a black hole scenario, where all human life meets death, inadvertently, not knowing there will be a winner, Mother Nature, a new chance for wildlife, the survival of the fittest, to which they all relate, let peace be the way, reach out to all life, let peace rule with good will I pray! __________________________________________________________ 06/13/2018 Eight word challenge - 7 Poetry Contest - Sponsored by John Hamilton

"disembowel "yes that is a terrible word... but if you think about it cult leaders kind of do that with their followers .. by living their brains empty or brain washed so it leaves only his hypnotic teaching

Thanks Eve, I'm still wondering where eviscerate came from; I've done a bit in my time, (Chickens, and various sorts of game, just in case you were wondering LOL). hugs Mick
