A Poem from Janet Cannon's  Poetry Room at IsleWrite.com

your war

inside the horror
of your cowardice
the unspeakable

sounds of bombs
blind morality with
closed fists of hate

that choke the breath
of compassion shut
abandoning civility

you kill kids then you
rape women then you
destroy their homes

for what?
