Are things that leave an ugly scar;

This Cinquain might be disturbing to some, and I apologize for that.  But no one can justify taking the life of a child, or any human being, under any condition…


Senseless

The ways of war

Ravaging innocence

Inexplicable brazenness

Murder

In a fit of pique, we took issue with their words

We needed sage advice, from those who knew

Instead we shed the blood of thousands of men

The bitter act of war, is never the last thing to do

Rest Easy Now ~ #poetry

Rest easy now, my dear friend

Let the angels be your wings

To carry you, safely home

Where the carolers do sing

Songs, to lift your heavy heart

So you know you’re not alone

Music, the heavens will impart

Hear the gentle trumpets blown

Rest easy now, my dear friend

Far away from the world at war

For God has lifted you up to Him

Your burdens are no more

That Empty Space ~ #poetry #dark

Life offers no comfort, to the ones who came back lost

Those whose minds, were taken, but really, at what cost

Trying to find the place, where last they knew their names

In a country that misunderstands, and never takes the blame

Locked inside, their restless souls, unable to assimilate

Homeless, lying in the street, oblivious to their fate

The drug of choice, so many, as they try to ease the pain

I pray to God, that someday, they’ll come back home, again

Smiling, gladly welcomed, by those they left behind

No longer in that empty space, that lingers, in their mind
