Running eyes, through list of names,
Add numbers to more lost lives;
Young soldiers, new papas, son-in-laws
Army, pilots, battalion, men, women, N G O S.
Deny?
The face of war, behind, curtains, open doors,
Extended to the battlefields, seas, shores, skies, cities.
Devastating misery, sufferings sorrows;
Maimed bodies, twisted limbs, anxious eyes, shattered spirits,
Broken hearts, damaged souls,
Strolling sounds of the living ghosts.
It would be so wonderful if peace could be bought with words, then all these shells of humans would not have to be.
Very vivid picture of the aftermath of man's inhumanity to man.
Hugs and peace my lady.
