5th year anniversary of Katrina. Over 1,800 lives lost. 42 U.S. soldiers killed this month.

... when will the madness end? ....

Poem Artwork


Wars.  Hurricanes.
Whole gulfs separate us
but the results are exactly the same ---

loved ones left behind.
My poor city --- when will the
madness end?  I'm tired of death,

of watching the numbers
rise.  The daily body count ---
the funerals.  I got no tears left ---

man's inhumanities to man
as devastating as natural disasters.
Both hard on the soul --- enough already.


(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (8/28)

Karla, in your eloquence, you speak for many of us--and
perhaps some day for all of us. Many years ago, a young
girl wrote (in the Chicago Tribune, I think) that one
day there will be a war and nobody will go. Bless you.

A most moving, apt, timely, and sad offering, Karla. But it needs to be expressed. Thank you for sharing from you soul. Love and best wishes,

As long as men of greed, their souls void of human compassion tread upon earth, it will continue. As for natural disasters, no one is exempt. Karla, your passion for life and the living burn brightly in your poem. May peace joy and love be always with you my dear friend. Jon Michael

I actually heard the real death toll for Katrina was more like 6,000; but they wanted to keep the number artificially low so 9/11 could remain front and center as the "greatest American tragedy." Does it really matter? Just different shades of horrible. Nice piece.

Karla, I think your two final words say it all...'enough already'

Cheers, with hopes of peace,

Yes, Thank God that President Obama withdrew all U.S. Combat Troops out of Iraq. Hopefully, the same can be done for Afghanistan. The Bush Wars are coming to an end! Halleluia!!!
