Never Again

The cacophony of headlines spills into homes. 
Living rooms swell with images of death.
Horror hails against insulated windows... 
A fusillade of destruction and trauma 
Resonating in a global conscience.
Barrages of how's and why's rally...
...between... 
brothers, sisters;
wives, husbands;
fathers, mothers;
sons, daughters.
All comsuming blitz of bewilderment. 
Disbelief pierced by shrapnal of reality.
Darkness, without peace, smothers Europe
again
