Guantanamo Sunrise

Just another chapter in the, "war of terror."

 

 

 

Guantanamo Sunrise

 

A crimson sphere of splendour

Textured vastness tinted blue

An elaborate bestowal

Of a day that’s fresh and new

 

A figure bent and shackled

In an odd and awkward stance

Like a moment that was captured

From a wild demented dance

 

A naked light bulb shoots a shadow

Across a cell gun metal grey

As an endless moment lingers

In one long and endless day

 

Architects of misery

On a faith inspired route

Show no appetite for mercy

And no interest in the truth

 

When their soldiers metamorphous

Into homeless on their streets

Will they fear their sons and daughters

When it’s them that taste defeat

 

God dam the silent watchers

And the shameful role they play

As an ugly war rages, men live in cages

And drown on dry land at Guantanamo Bay.

 

A ball of golden brilliance

Slides towards end of day

But the sun never sets, and the world won’t forget

We all stand as a witness to Guantanamo Bay

Well said! Once more, I commend you on another brave write. Each stanza "captures" the ugly truth of the atrocity, cruelty, and shameless crime of an evil in every meaning of the word. I enjoyed your change in the description " War of Terror"�Indeed!
