never leaving always burning
like a fire in the core of man
Wise old women and wise old men
say this too shall pass
where there is shadow the sky looms
black with smoke
When will the sun shine on the wheat fields
women weeping faces buried in their shawls
they had to bury their sister and her husband like dogs
The pain in the heart is insurmountable
like an ocean wave tidal and tsunami
How can we live with ourselves
humans
how can we turn away
Those of us that raise questions
Those of us that raise fists
Those of us that raise flags
what is it all for
the devil of War
is deaf to reason
