This was written for a very close friend of mine, after a chat. Whilst chatting I was being told about what was going on at that point in time, then suddenly the connection went dead... My friend is well, but sadly there were some who were killed... father, brother, sister mother, son or daughter... it's a thought !!!
Atrocities of ANY war in any country are despicable...
A World Reflecting Madness
In a world reflecting madness and insanity Where human life is seemingly meaningless Where overhead air raids screech And shriek with ear piercing shrills Or the deafening explosive thunder Of destructive flying missiles Firing, bombarding and bombing Leaving behind wreckage and destruction And dread within the hearts of innocents Where fear is etched on solemn faces Where pain in silent eyes is seen And mouths utter voiceless words Where tears bleed from the heart And devastation is a bitter pill Another life just obliterated Where upon a patch of dusty earth The sombre smell of death permeates
There you may find; A mother who grieves with bereavement Or a wife who mourns the pain of sacrifice A husband who laments the irretrievable loss And a child who keens for the dead But the damage of hatred is etched Like the corrosive virulent venom As bitterness and evil compound Where hostility spreads like a cancer And animosity, sharpness and rancour Like malevolent shadows stalk Elusive and mortifyingly evasive Striking at the most inopportune moments ~*~
This was difficult to view, but necessary to share with the world. Only when these images are shown can the reality and true horrors of war come to the light of day...

Despicable is not strong enough! Good for you for speaking out.
The killing and maiming has to stop! God help us if we don't find a way to turn things around in this country. Need to set an example!!

One Of Australia's greatest funny men)Actor made a statement in his first movie hit, Crocodile Dundee,
" The Aborigines don't own the land, they belong to it, so arguing over who owns it, is like two flea's arguing over the dog they are hitching a ride on"
This is true of every nation upon this earth, we dont own it, we belong to it, God owns it, and all this senseless slaying is all for the love of dirt, and power, while innocence suffers.
A wonderful write on a very dirty subject, well done.

You are right. The world is reflecting madness more than ever. If we do not change, we won't have to worry anymore. There won't be a world; at least not this one. Thank you for the sobering and ŕ propos thoughts, Elga. Love and peace to you.
Powerful write Elga, we are much on the same page tonight. Your "world reflecting madness" carries a most profound statement. Heartache is the same for all. Excellent write.

Death and destruction. Ever wonder why there are those that want IT? Those that harass until they GET it? In the name of religion? It has been this way through the ages. The Crusades, The Protestant and Catholic in Ireland and so many, many more. This line, "Where overhead air raids screech" needed one below it which said, "Suicide bombers strike again."

What I ever failed to understand is how one can hate another without ever having known the other. My prayer is for Peace and Love Always, Paul.
powerful poetry that has to move the collective soul ...
