Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Repetition of Moves

Genocide
Happens more often than 
we would like to think 
The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust 
to mention a few
Why can't we get along?  
I realize that even as I write 
these words 
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 3, 2018 at 10:45 PM Not so sure learning is on their (our?) agenda. A little poem punching way above it's weight. It truly is dumbfounding. (our reality, not your poem;) xomo!
