All Life Sacred.
Laying in bed thinking, finally sleeping.
Dreaming of Refugees hands outstretched, weeping.
In lines of homeless, dispossessed humans.
Broken bridges,buildings on fire.
Homes distroyed,and worse broken bodies,and minds.
Families split up, Menfolk marched off,
To where? Sounds of Gunfire,please God not that.
Scenes at the border to shame the World.
Each refugee stripped of identity.
Pushed over the border like rubbish on a tip.
A nothing, a nobody,brushed off the Human Race.
Picked up, given food, some shelter.
They are grateful,try to smile their thanks.
Look into their eyes see the suffering there.
The Children call out as they dream, "Papa--Papa"
The young girls weep,has rape made them pregnant?.
The Priests say no to pregnancy pills:"All Life is Sacred"
The elders just sit and wait for news of family and friends.
Their eyes scan everyone passing, hoping.
Inwardly praying to see a loved one emerge.
Finally exhausted they too, sleep, dream nightmare dreams.
How will it allend? Peace restored?
Refugees back home again to start to live again?.
Trying to forget?.--We ask a lot of a Human Being.
Already Politians, and well meaning People
Call for peace,give up the struggle
Asking why should we interfere in a Country's trouble?
Are the weak again to be sold down the river???
Is all life Sacred?.
Mr Lewis,
Yes all life is sacred and because God himself said so. but leave it in the hands of the evil on earth and it becomes nothing more than a life to them. All the wars on earth will never make this earth change or become any better. until God himself steps in. I shutter to see all that is going on around us.
Makes you think.

Hi I felt all the hurt...the pain...the agony...and all the bad things going on. I had a hard time to keep from crying as I read this. Is Life Sacred??? I believe that life itself is very sacred. Some may disagree with me but that is the way I feel. I also feel that it is how we live our life and what we do with our life that matters. We can make our life sacred or make it terrible. God gave us life and God says that life is sacred...can I think anything else. Keep up the great work. God bless. Luv, Angel Eve Smith
I am not sure of that "all life is sacred", we tend to need ideal circumstances to justify our own existence. I would say not all life is sacred and that it never has been. Mostly life is full of violence and abuse and rape murder, and inconsistancy. It is those non sacred lives that are performing all the evil acts. All life is not sacred, far from it. There are those of us who wish it to be sacred very much. But that is a wish.
