Like a mushroom, war blooms with the dark,
Armies troop on and incendiaries fly on.
Mercenaries are cold and greed burns red,
Hearts are so sore and the civilians cry on.

In Gaza, Israel fights a weird war
It’s not so much about eliminating an enemy
as it is about preventing the enemy
from killing the civilians it’s allegedly protecting

Disliked civilians
The public adored Shirley
Though she treated her fans severely.
***Our hotel operator (my age at the time) was her biggest fan until...

While campaigning among South American civilians
he got news of the death of three Brazilians
He said he was vexed
then he asked quite perplexed
just how many is a brazillion?
the real monsters,
are not living in your mind,
but out there,
in the real world,
killing the civilians,
innocent children's and elders,
terrible minds,
with terrible weapons,
threatening world peace.
Civilians who chant “liquor store blues”
within a Memphis alley way
Where the classical band plays
From dusk till dawn
Would lack intelligence
Should they be taught
That she resembles a foul sprite
For some wild centaur.
Cry out loud for war to end
Ill treatment by the army is war crime
Vile acts against humanity
Instead of war
Love must prevail
Instead of hatred
Affectionate actions towards others
Need not to end
Save human kind. End the war
Night of long knives
Twitter is going nuclear.
PC rules.
Serene Putin
Camara's smile at him
He winks.
Aleppo is ruined
Captive civilians killed
Rebels have gone.
Mosul and ISIS
Iraqi army of quitters
Behind sand dunes quiver
Dadd's tied up at work son, so he'll be late for din-din
But why is Daddy tied up, was he captured by a bunch of Injuns
Didn't he bring his sixshooter
Those Injuns don't own computers
All they know are shootouts and scalping civilians
Daddy's tied up at work son, so he'll be late for din-din
But why is Daddy tied up, was he captured by a bunch of Injuns
Didn't he bring his sixshooter
Those Injuns don't own computers
All they know are bow and arrows and scalping civilians
Daddy's tied up at work son, so he'll be late for din-din
But why is Daddy tied up, was he captured by a bunch of Injuns
Didn't he bring his sixshooter
Those Injuns don't own computers
All they know are bow and arrows and scalping civilians
On the jagged edge of conflict
The sharp blade of hate begins to show
This hate boils over into war
and blood begins to flow
Fiery flashes of bomb blasts
Light up the violent night
Innocent civilians caught in the crossfire
There are no solutions in sight
Another day, another lie
'We don't target civilians'
Bomb blast strikes maternity hospital
Another day, many more die
Another day, another lie
'Ukraine must be de-Nazified'
Three failed attempts on the Jewish President's life
Chemical weapons in hand for the next try
Genocide
Happens more often than
we would like to think
The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust
to mention a few
Why can't we get along?
I realize that even as I write
these words
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"
Food shortage looms again the world over;
as war in Ukraine threatens wheat supply!
Globe faces the hurricane of hunger
due to hypersonic missiles that fly!
Modern weapon’s devastating power
lets both enemies and civilians die.
The rain of bullets coming from the gun
never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!
Conundrum
Modern medicine
Quick evacuation of wounded soldiers
On the battlefield
Keep the death rates of warriors down
And we accept the losses.
But it also makes wars last much longer
To the detriment
Of civilians caught up in countries where
Warfare happens.
And civilian deaths are disregarded.
Bibi exchanges hundreds of murderers
with blood on their hands
for a handful of hostage civilians
fueling Hamas’ evil plans
for ‘a thousand more October sevens’
horrific antisemitic aggressions…
Sleep well, Bibi, tonight
as your countrymen's nightmares ignite
Hot and Arid is the landscape
Criminals and Civilians alike, Intertwining to coincide
A dynasty of politicians stretched in the crime syndicate
Lizards turning a blind eye to the Affairs
A River forms a

So deep do corruption and criminalihty run
Unable or Unwilling is the honest
Cowardly Putin bulldozes Ukrainian towns
then lies, lies, lies: Russia never shoots civilians down
Cowardly Mullahs lift up their skirts
let Hamas and Hezbollah do Iran's dirty work
Cowardly Hamas blows up Gazan Hospital
then lies, lies, lies that Israel did it... so ~

Revolution Number ‘12
Old habits are hard to break
As are new ones to make
But through trial and error
And maybe facing a terror
One can learn to ease an ache
Changing can be like fighting a war
Civil civilians, casualties young, and poor
The good, green and gold
Versus ways ignorant and old
May the victors’ world be better than the one before
Eighty summers ago one tyrant’s decision
Sent young soldiers east division by division
Such savage cruelty of his war machine
The degree of which had never been seen
On a cold winter’s morn one tyrant’s decision
Sent young soldiers west division by division
Conscripts will perish mothers will mourn
Civilians will bear horrors which can never be borne
Written 2/25/22
Some choose to wear a soldier’s camouflage
And take their country’s coin
all to defend a Politian’s ideology
While ordinary civilians die
Sisters without brothers
Mothers without sons
Children sent to foster homes
If the bombs have left them homes unarmed
Your deity will not help or take the pain away
His mortal representative will just stand over your grave and pray
God in the gloaming,
splits the violet horizon with lightning.
An assembly of angels of every nation and
tongue,
they're lifting coffins of great numbers of
war dead-
both military and civilians of all ages.
Dusky rolling fields of scarlet poppies,
nations united in collective sorrow,
lamentation of humankind,
then, a worldwide hush-
as nightjars sing a dirge of the universe. ~
