Nightly News Statistics...

 

 

 

fearless hearts

warriors in errant battle

odds uneven

reciprocation is devastation

the bombings, non-stop

shredded core

shrapnel lives led afterward

 

where were you when

the first arrow was slung

did you kiss the enemy

thinking it was a lover

 

do sheep bite

when wolves are camouflaged in saintly dress

 

were you mine

only before the war...
