I am watching
destruction of a world
I thought
indestructible.
Fires roar in the night
cities consumed
rage
incoherent
no longer able to avoid.
I am watching
leaders fail
desperate to fulfill lies
tear at truth
deny responsibility
for the death of all.
Could have been avoided
if faced sooner
yet still
doubt reigns
amongst the truth nayers.
Fiction
not fact
despite what is shown 24/7
on every news channel.
I am watching.
I am bleeding.
Tears wave my sight.
There is something backward
with the joy that you feel
shouting for more murder
for more beatings
for more violence
than for joining
an ever growing roar
for peace.

Thank you. Had stomach bug and yesterday was first time I could look at words. When I saw joy and backward this bleak poem jumped into creation. 🤓💜

You’re welcome! Oh, dear, hope you are feeling better. I just got over a cold myself – still got a bad cough, but otherwise I am pretty much over it.
