Insurgents Hard Heels
Under Insurgents Hard Heels
Have you been under insurgents hard heels before?
While being in pain and suffering forevermore
Before you knew it, family member was found dead
And over him or her many prayers must be said.
While we all around the world may be celebrating
Mid-East people suffer pain that is excruciating
They before never created or had thought of
Only wanting world peace and all their love.
What a world has become full of conflict like this
No wonder many of my points they often miss
Another news story's here you dread to have read
About a child starving to death dying with no bed.
Where can any hope possibly ever be found
And much agony can no longer hear its sound
Some are alive loving their poppy and mommy
We in school read about Code of Hammurabi.
Capital punishment never accomplished anything
Only more tears and suffering often would bring
We live everywhere being a loving lassie and lad
Rest of world is miserable always seeming so sad.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
Now to figure out what to code this other
than simply, utterly miserable.
