grossly preoccupied
that is what the world must be
to let still go on
such vile acts of deliberate atrocity
the manglers continue to bloodily cleanse
their religious counterparts with such
magnificent ease
their brutality rarely fails nor ends
only grows wider to destroy
like a wild forest fire in the breeze
whichever way the under dog crosses
by his nemesis he is further damned with the
explosion of yet more angry weapons' fire
too many, too long now to count are the current
life losses
never or so it seems will the aggressor
apparently of his mission tire
as frail and starved humanity hangs on in a
hell like country devoured by virtually
uninterrupted hate
while the rest of the planet watches and waits
as more and more food trucks roll in to feed
whats left
an embarrassing effort that is simply just
not enough and far far too late
we know its not right to let such mass human
slaughter to continue
one can only pray that soon there will open up
a far more productive venue
for frankly NATO is just not enough
for she can not muster up the nerve even to
defend you....................
