Civilians Unable to Flee

Peace Poet on Oct 13, 2011

The fighters fire rockets, and the civilians are unable to flee.

Procuring explosives

Through pilferage and intimidation

Targeting innocent women and children

In the midst of all chaos

I sing unnoticed

Kissed by cross

Grace lies in its bite.

From despair

God alone canst free!

Muslim, Christian graves

Desecrated in Israel

Fire-bomb thrown at synagogue

Shelling the city to city

In Libya. The violent game is not over.

Fighters

Fire rockets

In the city

Civilians unable to flee

Failed states

Overrun by militants

Devil fierce as ten Furies

Sad that innocent lives always have to suffer during the world’s conflicts.

Innocent people are always collateral damage, unfortunately.
