Piercing Our Hearts

Piercing Our Hearts

Countries are torn apart over our children.
Being physical, mental, sexual pained
Wounded, broken, watching dismemberments.
Their selfish taste of blood in the name of god
Violence against our women and children

The tide keeps growing in numbers of hatred
Attracting women and children guerrillas, 
Who blow-up their bodies to kill innocents
Allah rewards their demise in Paradise 

What do they see in these misguided doings?
Piercing our hearts with injustice of murder
We all suffer in the name of religion

It is beyond horrid that what they see is an END and the end looks better to them than the life they were given. Light & Love-Light & Love

Thank you so much for your response, Debbie. You are probably right their end looks better to them than the life they have been given. Debbie I took your advise on my "Menentos Gathering Dust" poem. I'm learning from your advise. Blessings dear friend
