War and Victims


A feather rose in the dust,
dust that speckled the scene

The feather sat on a soul
softly weeping, tired.

Tired, because it would never stop
the din, the blood, the massacre

The massacre of innocents
Tied to their fateful destiny

The soul gasped a sigh
of anger, of relief

Anger, because it would never stop
Relief from the din, blood, massacre

As I close my eyes,
I struggle to see it one last time

The colours are the hardest to fight,

flashing right in front of me

The graphic is so vivid
Yet, it happens miles away

I can see it with eyes closed,
'cause I already have, several times


Will it finally stop?
Will all the souls stop gasping

However, it never will,
Until the earth's soul finally gasps.
