Silent Night

Light goes out, door closes, the thick silence all that fills the void. Thoughts besiege me now. I look to the cot for escape. But alas, I am betrayed. War begins, world burns, each soldier brought down before they're time. It proves not who's right. The slaughter only proves who is left. The one winner, turmoil.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
