Seized Incognito

Inked Confession Innocence stolen Defending my elders extremism Fields of olives, roots never sowed by me Dagger dripping red Inch by inch the watermelons are mine Dancing in glee, I bury tiny white robes and red stains Forever blind to, denying all crimes Faded Morality New flowers will bloom on top of Ghazi We thieves soon to face our just reward Their children lie buried in the ashes of sorrow, in silent grief Insanity, Oppression, Fabricate Insidious allusions of grandeur offerings of the human flesh forever, crimes inked in history Iniquity, Oppression, Forlorn upon a childs bones

Extremism is never good news for any side, and is sad the west supports this. Jimmy Carter actually wrote a book on this, sadly those the stepped in his shoes have not read his book.

Hello Arthur, I loved how you dig into the depths of human depravity and the haunting legacy of oppression. Your artistic words carry the weight of history's injustices, yet harrowing portrait of innocence lost and morality faded. The imagery of stolen innocence and the blood-stained dagger cuts deep, confronting us with the grim realities of oppression and its lasting scars. You have poetically showed the atrocities committed in the name of power and greed, urging us to confront the darkness within ourselves and strive for a better world. Amen! - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you, many do not know the history, and i dare say is not really a war, one side has nuclear weapons and the one of the most powerful militaries in the world, the other side, other than a few not well armed soldiers, basically children with stones.

You are very kind, and thank you for such kind words, regardless of politics it should be about the innocent, I am ashamed these days that we support such atrocities, and many are afraid to even mention or talk about it, your comments mean a lot to me!
