Chaos
Where will this wheel of chaos
And, blood lust, destruction stop?
It is spinning out of control.
Images, from around the world,
Bombard us. Fingers lost for voting;
Men and boys corralled for slaughter;
Woman taken for unspeakable things.
I am stricken with sadness.
How can we be the same species?
They need to be born again.
