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?

Enjoyed some great lines in your poem on a tough topic. And thinking about the 'why' at the end, it seems in the far past, all empires grew by taking over other areas(more gold). Now, they use pure debt made out of paper money, or digital, created out of thin air. They then buy as much as they can, but now the debt's due; the paper has no more value. But indebted empires(moneyed men) don't go down without a fight; and everyone blindly does their fighting and they all lose.

Yep. Greed.
