Poetry

Hope Endures

A bitter taste

Destroying beauty

People that kill

People who die

Children who wake

From gunshots outside

Families afraid to

Send their children to school

Blood soaked clothing

Of mothers whose

Sons have died in their arms

Guns in the hands

Of the innocent and nefarious

Bombs dropped

Bloodshed in the name of God

Wars for power, land, oil, greed

Mother’s without children

Babies without families

Nations without trust

Humans without Love

***

Hope endures faintly

Poetry

Babes in Arms

Children are crying

Screaming aloud

Blood is scattered

Spread throughout

Pain and sorrow

All around

Loud sounds

Screeching through the air

Bullets flying

Children dying

Guns are given

Out like toys

Babes in arms

Little girls and boys

Violence is the only way

Grab the children

Seize the day
