Chapter (22) FIGHTINGA Chapter by MAD ENGLISHMANFIGHTING A Mother, loving her sons,
shouts. The boy punches his
brother. A young couple stand before
the priest and vow. The man hits his
wife, this is her life now. Clandestine love in a cheap
hotel, shared, No-one cared. A woman, stoned to
death her only crime, to love. Politicians on a stage,
insult, berate, debate, Bullets fired,
killing, filled with hate. Gloved fists flying, bikini
clad girls, crowds cheering. Advertising sells, swells the
commerce pocket. From the skies
another rocket falls indiscriminate, Another mother cries,
holds her dead child. The surgeon sweats, saving
lives his skill, A corrupt government
uses a barrel bomb, Their aim, to maim, to
kill. Pushing, rushing in the
supermarket sales to get the best price. Tiny hands scrabble
in the dirt for grains of rice. When was fighting ever the
solution?
Long live the
revolution. © 2017 MAD ENGLISHMANAuthor's Note
