Distress

The dense smoke hides the sun.
Now enveloped in this darkness
I am alone, yet
there is no peace.
Wars ravish the lands,
innocents continue to die.
Is the flexing of muscle
and the want for riches
really worth the lives of children?

Good poem, of course if you are still human, the answer is no.

A valid question I fear, given the propensity of governments to identify the deaths of human beings as "collateral damage"....some euphemism, huh ?
