I have never
known him to throw away
timeframes and brutal thought
something's are criminal
but the air holds its own breeze
and the chiming of clock
is about to stand
in place
we are all soldiers of our
own cause no matter how sacred
we profess
we place a chain around
each ankle
and call it virtue
while the crumbs on the floor
seemingly crawl away
and the orchestra
plays Beethoven's 9th
over the cries of
Aleppo's children

Creation's creation or something else
ReplyDeleteSome people think they can justify any brutal and inhuman act if they shout loudly enough and give excuses couched in religion or philosophy or an insane world-order they've dreamed up. Yet the cries of the children of Aleppo are not muted no matter how loudly the orchestra plays...
