War Incomprehensible
My heart bleeds at the plight of my brethren in faith
For what fault their children innocent should suffer?
Unspeakable deprivation like their fathers, in this time
Of much-vaunted civilization, that existed never before,
Human rights much cherished, their rights to live
With insane, inhuman ruthlessness demolished.
Made to suffer inhuman, crippling diseases, even death
Reason cited ‘dearth of nutrition’, easily avoidable.
World has enough to feed many times their numbers
Hunger takes their lives every day in scores.
Huge wealth buried under the land they inhabit,
Wretched life of poverty and deprivation they live!
O, the Conscience of the world! Rise from slumber
Question, condemn, protest, resist, and let sanity prevail.
Why this devastating war unjust?
Indiscriminately, killing women and children
Forced on a people that want not liberated
By a power viewed unfriendly for long
Siding with an unjust occupation, so eager
To liberate a people never cared for, before!
Tyrant or no tyrant, the method chosen for elimination,
Must be condemned, for it is unjust, illogical and illegal,
For the mere fact that the majority of the world-
A peaceful solution wanted that is possible.
Showing utter disdain for world opinion
Talk of Geneva Convention, is criminal.
Shame on the World! The greatest perpetuates
A crime against humanity, we are mere onlookers.
