THE BOMBING OF DRESDEN     
        February 13, 1945
Pathfinders lit the night to show the way
for bombardiers too hungry for the word;
as Dresden's dark was made as light as day,
all hearts were stopped before the...

Empty Chairs - Oklahoma City Bombing
A deluded and deranged miscreant.
Rode in a rented Ryder truck,
Sadistically opposed to his government,
He delivered a two-ton bomb.

After parking the fateful vehicle,
With time fleeting and fuses lit,
He fled to his car,
Parked, not far away.

Hearing the explosion, he made his escape,
With a gleam in his eye.
One...

THE BOMBING OF DRESDEN--    MONSIEUR L'VAMPYRE - 
There was a night, I still recall it now,
as winters cold had turned to soft and mild,
and gave us hope, that time would still allow
the passing by--of death--as death was filed.

What manner of a beast,...

Bombing!
Jolo Sulu blasted again
For politicos personal gain
Says nothing to blame
Except they said terrorists team
Which team comes from them?
Though treated as immunity
Still feared the community
This recipe of politics
Much time to take at rest
Many lives lost 
Children’s blood host  
Mothers cry out loud
The severing dead body...

Bombing Without Mercy
When America bombed Hiroshima our city,


Three days later without pity,

They bombed Nagasaki and ruined the city.

Killed at least 200,000 people.




It was a normal day.

We were all going either to work, or school.

That day, I was very excited because

I was chosen to be “it” for hide...

Premium Member Oklahoma City Bombing Grieving For Those Who Died
I only hear the silence as I stride,
Twixt granite chairs neatly set in rows.
The 169 chairs epitomize each life,
Now neath a sea of grass that grows.

My psyche periodically visits this place,
All be it, here, their Spirits do not rest.
However, a Monument and Reflection pool,
Usher memories,...

Was it him?
No,
his brothers
tied grenades.
on dead black birds
heaved them high.
to fly, wings tied back,
up to a third story balcony....

War
In an old, crumbling town,
Everyone's been feeling down,
Children crying in despair,
Planes bombing in the air.

The war is intense, sad and deep,
But it has promises it yearns to keep,
Tormented with nightmares they never sleep,
Thus they can only sit and weep.

 Soldiers defeated, arms chopped off,
Horses dying...

Lullaby
I’d like to sing to you a lullaby
To make all your troubles disappear
Tell you there is no need to cry
That you will never know hate or fear

But I must tell you about the boy in class
With a gun tucked in his backpack
And how life can...

Blood Nights
(It's really hard to ignore the videos of the injured kids... It really is heart wrenching) 

. 


And then the night turned red
And screams were heard
of kids painted in blood 
And a tiny hand waved
From beneath a wrecked home

Kids with names printed on their wrists...

A Flashback of the Day
After coming back from church last night, wishing everyone a Happy Easter, my sister's only wish was to watch The Greatest Showman. So, my mother and I took our seats next to her and watched, right in the dining table, with our dinners in front...
