An inner darkness

An inner darkness

An inner darkness takes hold.
Makes hate its home.
Flushes out the love.
Leaves no one alive.
All dead. Each and every one.

Rivers of blood

Rivers of blood flow
freely, in war torn cities.
We bathe our children in them.

Threat of war is enough

We are living in challenging times.
War threatens our way of life.
It threatens the lives
of our children.
Our grandchildren.
It threatens humanity.
Our very existence.
