feedback jeder art War No More!

[Donna]

A high- pitched sizzle-whistle cuts through the charred sickened night. 

Billowing acrid smoke burns lungs, pulls flesh tight. 

Speeding death missiles deployed to extinguish many a Soul's light. 

 

They detonate in two places. 

In the sovereign County of Ukraine and in my heart. 

How can I help, where do I start? 

Devastating, what this erases.

Clear across the World, the bombastic boom thuds and shoves the wind out of me.

 

I see how sheer terror sketches ashen faces as they flee. 

Children, innocence yanked, cry fear- tears. 

Families embrace, part ways not knowing if they'll ever have together years. 

 

A shard lodges deep within; pierces that fragile place. 

I want to race to save the World from its wicked way. 

Shield and protect; force Serenity in each day. 

On my knees begging God please

"War no more!" 

 

As the afflicted struggle to rise, a ray of Hope shines on the floor. 

Picking this up and sending my Love with a roar. 

May Peace roam and resume in every corridor and through each door.
