Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Silence of the Lambs

Soft like sheep
The Clan in white sheets
Full of indignation
And ignorance
They march to their own battle cries
Care not for innocents who have to die
Their cause though evil, noble in their eyes
As Hamas, they burn those with education who decry
The violent aggressions 

Their deceptive practices and petty battles
Become pretty slogans for the misguided ones

Andrea Dietrich June 12, 2016 at 5:24 PM awesome pics you put with this relevant poetry, Arthur. Indeed, echoing what richard said, a poet with a social conscience.

Jean Murray June 12, 2016 at 5:11 PM Did you see the Jewish rabbi's speech at Mohammed's funeral Arthur? This poem reminds me of it. Well done.
