Saturated in Darkness


Words fail me, I don''t really understand anymore
Time passes, and the world  gets darker every hour,
As the bombs fall, shattering the sustenance of light
Now is not the time to allow indifference to consume,
Tomorrow brings the ache of sorrow to many hearts
The cries of desperation, as dovetails of peace dissipate,
From Gaza,  Kurdistan, Yemen and the Ukraine
Voices echoing in unison, a despondent refrain,
People keep praying to a malfunctioning God
As the Lords of misrule and chaos take charge,
While different lands are rained upon with missiles
Peoples lives blown apart, the earth stained with blood,
A 100 % death tax delivered upon innocent souls
Children left grieving for their parents and vice versa,
I will join the chorus and condemnation of the horror
As the evening implodes, get drunk to numb the tears,
Deserting my feelings of rage, will release a slow dance
Beyond  the oracles of despair, to assuage inner torment,
In the morning will wake, point clear fingers of blame
Profiteers of war and the power mad, who carry no shame.
