CONSCIENCE
The giant birds are sleeping on the flight deck
Having sucked the life from the sworn enemy
The lives of naive innocent children obliterated
As “collateral damage” in the parlance of war
Such euphemisms allowing the perpetrators
To sleep at night after performing such atrocities
No deep, restful slumber for these but a fitful sleep
While the great giant birds on the flight deck
Sleep a deep sleep for they have no conscience.
