War
evening news
in every land
shadows of war~
even the songbirds
have dissappeared.
***
protestors ~
in the garbage
photos of the lost,
prayers
rising to heaven.
***
unheard
the cries of children
and old men
beneath the sounds
of weapon fire.
***
the blood
of innocence
paints floorboards,
no passover
for the lambs.
***
tattoos of evil
find evil again
cycles repeat,
the question:
why?
