War

Grey brown and red
dark shadows
oppressively read the news
people buried the dream
too deep for tears to react

Bewildered in sand
wearing their grief
in tatters,
eyes raised heavenward

Peace had no chance
to breathe in red
puddles of war
all hopes
into the sea at last

Inside rubble
bodies hold each other
forsaken finally
by their god

Ghost children scream
 in the night.
​Peace never comes.
