The dense smoke hides the sun.
Now enveloped in this darkness
I am alone, yet
there is no peace.
Wars ravish the lands,
innocents continue to die.
Is the flexing of muscle
and the want for riches
really worth the lives of children?

Distress
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

Re: Distress
Good poem, of course if you are still human, the answer is no.
Re: Distress
A valid question I fear, given the propensity of governments to identify the deaths of human beings as "collateral damage"....some euphemism, huh ?
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism
