Red blood, stains the earth
In a mockery of life
Yet our peace remains
Wars are waged far, elsewhere
As images prevail
With eyes open wide
Splinters embed as mirages
Sleeping a sleep drenched in lye
Unmarked graves scream
As piled upon, are their keeps
A rubble of home
Loved ones and more, shattered lore
Of times simple treasured sure
Where are the answers
For life’s hypocrisy clear
Senseless greed revered_
