Deaf...Once Again

Each morning, millions in the Middle East awaken hoping to be part of the “survival of the fittest,” delusion. Such is the impotent and sad nature of ignorance. (Image by ahermin)

Deaf…Once Again
by Odin Roark

Time keeps moving,
Eyes vacuous,
Clothing charred,
Feet naked.

Such is life’s tenuous reality,
Where hovering tomorrows lean precariously
Over hope’s narrow passage
Awaiting its own exploding demise.

Such a sinister house of cards this,
A seductive game of all in,
Innocence the stakes,
Hatefulness the ante.

Still…

Screams of fear
Continue overwhelmed by rockets,
The cyclic shrill warnings,
Merely routine habitude.

While…

Cultures'inbred hostility
Remains history’s DNA unsequenced,
Evolution’s unsolved mystery
Incubating more replication,
Destined to make man deaf…
Once again.

You are what you eat.. or so the saying goes. Too many children hungry for a better life grow up seeking some perceived to be necessary revenge against an apparitional enemy, the ones who have supposedly left them there to starve. Such is the nature of propaganda. M.True

As brutal and widespread as current violence seems, there has been less and less as time goes on. Reporting is just so much better with the Internet and so many amateur journalists out there providing information. That is encouraging. However, if we don't get human population under control we will sink into anarchy with every man for himself.

You and I will thankfully be gone if that ever happens.

That ISIS/ISIL (?) movement is monstrous and brutal. Convert or die. The war against Christianity is escalating violently. Purportedly ISIS/ISIL destroyed the Prophet Jonah's tomb and many other holy relics (sledgehammers and bombs) in their violent quest for controlling supremacy.
"Cultures'inbred hostility
Remains history’s DNA unsequenced,"
although this idea is provocative and tactfully considered, I am fully convinced the problem is spiritual in nature. An age-old war, in the spirit, that has never been fully rectified. That time is nearing. Enjoying your work, Kent. Yours is a sharp and creative mind. Peace...
