The Serb Dog by Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet

did you hear somebody scream?"...

Death Does Not Discriminate

The plains are now silent, a brief moment in time, and we steal every second we can,               ...

In a foreign lush green sprawling land
A patchwork carpet stitched together
In shades of tawny browns yellows and green
Rugged rock forest and wind-swept moor
Is a awe-inspiring spectacle to be seen

In summer's adorned frock adorned bushes and...

Achingly, I watch as you frequently fall
For the idyllic notion of unconditional love
The dream, the desire, the fantasy
Drawn, inexplicably, to the potent flame
Of one who ignites the spark
You learn from her, confide in her
Losing yourself
As...

The year ends on saddest notes
of crying, dying babies in Palestine 
and obstructed efforts 
to throw them a lifeline 

They ought to have long halted
this ethnic cleansing 
of the indigenous inhabitants
Stop the cruel bombardment
of their...

I SIT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE COMFORTABLY EATING A MANGO WITH OREO COOKIES
while a father fights off fearfulness fervently in a far off forest deep in Da Nang
Where even the trees have fangs
And...

Atomic bombs are dropped on babies
Humanity is thrown out of the door
Humanity is dead. Humanity is no more
There are too many aggressive and demoniac atrocities
Wars are heartless, bestial, perilous, satanic and deadly
The hypocrisy is clearly...

TROJAN HORSE

A decade long battle left them exhausted,
Squeezing mettle, dusky vigour fading,
Tired warriors, planning failing,
Dejected lay the war songs ashore!

Wisest of the mighty Greeks,
Amidst the crisis, Odysseus smiled,
The perplexed troops his voice then heard,
‘Retreat shall...

why will men fight and suffer to advance the interests of their masters, who fling them aside when they have no further use for them?

It takes two to make a tear 

It’s Christmastime so no more killing now!

A merry Christmas, season’s greetings, mate.
Und frohliche weihnachten to...

Fire, fire, countless fires
Fire of hate that nobody admires
Fire that hurts, maims and kills and innocent victims
Fire that burns, cremates and destroys many buildings
Fire that is misused
Fire that is diffused
Countries with more firepower rule
A gangster...

Some soldiers receive medals for their bravery in war,
Or praise for their services on ships, air, or shore.
Men and women fight for world peace,
Continuous battles that never cease.

Make love, not war is an adage,
Where is...

I’m tired.
Not the kind you sleep off—
the kind that settles in your bones
like a storm that never passes.

I’m tired of checking the volume
of my laughter
like it’s a detonator.
Of reading the room
like it’s a battlefield—
every silence...

Israel’s Gift of Slow Death in Gaza

Israel’s government says that Rachel Corrie’s
2003 death in Gaza, was not the fault of the 
military whose army bulldozer rolled over her,

The gift of shapes born in a cloud
Could never make my father proud,
Or accolades of merchant‘s turn
My mother’s head toward my return,
Imagination lost on one,
But dad’s shoes worn meant dad had won.

Both parent’s dreamed of...

Nineteen ninety-one, just four years in,
love's first blossoms wilting, with little peace,
and, straining underneath its fragile skin
resentment, like hot magma, sought release.
A revelation reared its ugly head,
something I never knew from years before,
the cracks grew...

The wives wail for their fallen husbands' embrace,
The children's tears fall on their mothers' lifeless face,
Men beg for mercy from soldiers in the fray,
I weep, powerless to save them from this dismay.

Displaced and far from...

Ukraine has got chemical weapons, the Russians claim
That are being used against their soldiers to kill and maim
And those apartments you see blown to smithereens
Are only illusions that we see, on our TV screens.

Whorls of smoke mock the void of the heavens; in a wiggling ascent 
With lusting waists of a samba decent.
Turmoil combs the fragile mane of the soil
The scalp is torn and leathery fingers of dust...
