Red Alert

Many words of fabrication said
To justify one’s fatal end
Innocent blood to be shed
For love of colour red,
Soon to hell he’ll go
Leave behind though
Broken hearts
Ne’er to
Mend.

If only tyrants would be deposed in a lasting finality. Their brutality destroys the innocent. One hopes for an eternal hell for such despots. A thought provoking read, Harry. Be well. Brian

However one tries to justify one's wrong actions, he will have to bear the subsequent punishments. Broken hearts cannot be mended ! Rivalry and bloodshed will bring untold miseries... ! Well crafted, harry !

Great political work. I can't imagine what those people are going through in Ukraine. I hope there is some resolution soon to end the killing and destruction. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

It's so sad to see how much havoc and devastation hate can bring. A powerful, well written nonet, Harry.

Ah, so, Harry! And the sooner the better. I don't feel a bit sorry when I hear he has terminal cancer and the sooner the better. I just hope it's true. A heart so full of hate and destruction is hard to imagine. To see it in action is devastating.
