Crises,War, and Death

Crisis War and Death

Each sad day lenghtens the shadow of despair
Shortens our hopes for the horizon of peace
Where a faint glow might tease our eyes.
But no, the warloards, the deathsquads,the posturing politicians
Watch the carriage roll down the incline,
The child in it asleep,
Never to wake up.
