night screams.....

this one of two for darfur...

dire fear

across beautiful continent

fires blaze

across tribal village

food with held

and eaten by flies maggots

as vultures tear

the flesh of our young

day brings

no solace

as fathers and mothers

are raped and pillaged

murdered for greed

innocence orphaned

nights filled

by bullets ripping

the evening air

they have no one

to hold and comfort

no one

to tell them it’s all right

no HDTV

no Wii

no DVD/VCR/CD

the night screams

for one minute

of calm

Oh, yes, so coddled are we even in our version of discomfort that we can not fathom the depth of that reality, holding it away from us with every breath...
