ballast of hope

With nothing so impermanent as time,
I watch all the monstrous devices of man
by the trappings of feigned indifference
Fire burns blood into the sand,
and we are left wanting for definition
of all the reasonings of atrocity
.
A severed hand holds the world,
blasted from her mothers arms,
and as fire flings it's tarnish
to and forth, unfurled and shorn
from the standard of compassion
and ballast of hope reborn

Tyler, I share in your astonishment! War is hell! Especially if you feel it closing in on you. Bill
