The merciless Grab

A Poem by Nisreen

The squandering of the value of human life

Thrashing the blue sky with red

Screaming in daylight is the young child

Crying out to the dove filled skies

The innocent ones winter cloud

Raining the souls of human kind

The limitless speeches floating thin air

The great ones have descended in smoke

The twist of a girl's curls lay in the rubble

A handkerchief wrapped around a finger

For tears would never account loss

Merchants of our time have sold it all

The danger to loss of love

Replaced by a cult of nothingness

The leaders of snake like act

Poisoning the vacated room

A position of needle point

Reading figures of illness

The blind of heart

Slaughtering a beautiful skyline

one hopes always for the end of violence ... of wars, avarice and greed ... envy and strife ... i am afraid that as long as humanity exists, there will be those that want ... will take ... give consent to whatever needed to get ... this condition threatens my family and myself (and everyone else's) if it were only me to consider i may be able to offer the dove in the face of butchery ..but i can not ... :( i always like poetry in couplets ... i also enjoy the free and spontaneous quality ..the words create unique images for each reader ... yet you have made a clear message in this one ... i suppose there will never be a time that poems such as this one would be ill timed ... a sobering read the inspires me to my unshakable weapon ..my prayers ;)
