Earl Schumacker Poet Free verse

Ukrainian Human Demise

Ukrainian Human Demise

Infants should not have to die on airlines
Parents should not have to cry
Aeroflot should be stopped from landing in our country
For a start
It’s all about the money
Hurt the Putin’s and friends in their pockets 
Leave us time to mourn for our lost ones
But forceful to stop this humanity decline
What are we as humans
If we don’t respond
All nations need to carve out a path to gather up our dead
All armies should respond
Bring back our 298 loved ones to bury them with respect and honor
If not…. What are we but complacent, complicit in this crime

Debbie Guzzi July 20, 2014 at 4:07 PM A horrid situation, the governments of the world keep the citizens at constant war with each other, if not for nationalism & religion there would be no wars. So sorry for your loss. Light & Love Earl Schumacker July 20, 2014 at 4:35 PM Hi Debbie, Thank you for your keen observations. As for me, I'm just writing a poem on a serious topic that should touch all of us. As a general rule of creating poetry, I do not equate myself with any of my creations. This particular poem does impact the reader and originator, (as it should) Thanks again. Take care. Earl
