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 2/28/2015 Syllable count: 11 11 11 11 11 0 11 11 11 11 0 11 11 11

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
