Children torpedoed into adulthood
Men leaving wives and children to glean bread
They have to harvest and bake for themselves
The tale of a terror we know as war
This fight for borders this grab for more earth
Even when it cakes another man's boot
It is called hell wrapped in garments of greed
A covetousness risen from darkest void
Recline rescind retreat you worthless force
Back to the realm of never nevermore

PEACE A CANDY SO SWEET
Dedication whispers to heart
Steady, punctual, consistent.
Then three voices echo
Lets do this, i think i can, i know i must.
Carve a valentine, shaped for hope of peace and glory
Taste sunlight on tongue of tomorrow how sweet this treat of peace

TEARS IN FUTILITY
Should i weep since tears are fluid?
Blinding down cheeks
Lost to warmth of a careless dash
of control, yielded to frigid stares?
Oh conscience!!! who holds thee at arms distance?
Masked to hide the the burden of inhumanity and deceit?
Fleeing, reason pausing,
Not to glimpse the smoke and terror of bombs, those good friends of armoured tanks,
But to inhale the stench of war,
To gulp the bitterness of irony and loss to comfort in sacred life,
In family circles,
Bubbling into an ether of nonexistence,
Ripe with splatter and death,
Senseless as the drop of a petal,
in ripple of an ocean,
too vast to understand that love conquers all.

WHAT THE WIND TOOK
Tis a fierce wind that blows from the roof top,
And she no gentle maiden struggles, to
Keep a balance of pride and fortitude.
For what more has she to lose? left behind
Barefooted and aloof on a roof, to
Pin these garments cleansed of yesterdays dole,
When she mothered him, along with her child.
She should have let go of him a long time,
Like those slippers were, cast off to the wind.
What was he father? what was he a husband ?
What was he? she asks herself, and the wind,
Blew and blew that day, so that her slippers off and flew away.
