or victims of war (here)
Geo-political
conflict but innocents were
those who had suffered
Can their conscience be
cleared by pointing fingers at
others in the fray
Initial reports
showed vital evidence at
crash site were tampered
No winners in all
conflicts except the sick few
who designed them all
For CARPE DIEM #519 - in loving memory of
the recent Malaysian Airlines tragedy and
PU's Poetry Pantry #210
except the sick few that designed them all...that is for sure...and ugh...was just commenting elsewhere about thinking of the families back home...and the waste of life as well...for what...ugh
ReplyDeleteNo winners at all, Hank. So very true. Very sad so much loss of life for nothing........a very relevant write.
ReplyDeleteVery sad. An appropriate tribute.
ReplyDeleteA crime of such horrible magnitude one's mind, literary, reels - in an effort to take in, and wrap your head around it. Another awful, senseless blow to humanity, that leaves people of empathy wondering: what kind of trajectory is humankind on - and, what hope is there for the children of this earth.
ReplyDeleteYour tribute to those lives lost in yet another act of aggression this week is very moving, Hank. Where are the answers? Where is the humanity?
ReplyDeleteInnocents always suffer. Written off as 'collateral damage' on the spreadsheet of war.
ReplyDeleteDo the sick ones really win?
ReplyDeleteOnly a Dreadful Silence
we are helpless spectators...sigh.
ReplyDeleteMuch wisdom. Well expressed.
ReplyDeleteafter such an event it almost doesn't matter who did it, but why and how could it happen..
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to the families of these innocent victims ~ Such senseless acts by those sick in the mind ~
ReplyDeleteYour words convey what everyone thinks. My heart goes out to all families who suffered loss in this sick way.
ReplyDeleteGreat to be back hope all is ok with you and yours.
We are on the same page...
ReplyDeleteZQ
No winners what so ever, hopefully the sick few choke to death
ReplyDeleteAmen! Some people are sooo utterly horrible,.. No words are enough... Beautiful tribute!
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteSo much tragedy that seems to never stop ...
ReplyDeleteYes, Hank. Exactly.
ReplyDeletetrue Hank..and you have said it very well..:)
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I heard of the horrible tragedy, Hank. You have really touched upon the futility of all this geo-political conflict. So sad and makes me feel so helpless.
ReplyDeleteSo very sad Hank---it does make us feel helpless!
ReplyDeleteThe people who pay are the innocents that are so far removed from the upheavals. Mercy on us all!
ReplyDeletePerfect way to describe it, sickening
ReplyDeleteJust madness!
ReplyDeleteHow sadly true your words ring...
ReplyDeleteMay the truth be found along with peace.
It makes me feel sad how people play blame games when such an incident happens...sigh.
ReplyDeleteHank,
ReplyDeleteSad that we have to endure an even harsher form of evil, than all that we thought we had seen before. The loss of innocent lives is shocking and unforgivable.
I too have tried to put into words, something of my shock..I am grateful to belong to a poetry group, which seeks to express our thoughts, through our own words.

Amen, Hank. You nailed this one.
