Dog (Part 3)
As excited to return as he was to leave
Bright eyes such bright eyes
He senses my pain
We enter...
....
He skips to his drink
Downs it in one
Plods off to corner
Flops down in the cool shade
Raising a quizzical eyebrow
Then doses off with a contented sigh
....
Click, click of the mouse
The key to the asylum gate turns
The inmates scream out beyond my screen
Some live in heaven others in hell
Perversely I sit here
Omnipresent
My fingers jabbing at the keyboard
Harvesting the daily cruelties of mankind
Kind of "men"
I'm sick
At least sickened
I SEE WAR
LOTS OF HIDEOUS WAR
TWISTED CORPSES
INSANITY
GRIEF
I see twisted politicians pretending to care
Banks rubbing their hands with glee
Arms manufacturers celebrating bonuses
I see death equals money for some
Lots of death = Lots of money
Kids shelled on a beach, hospitals destroyed
"well they use human shields"
So that must mean those humans are worthless?
I see a death toll of 1400...and RISING!
I see no God
I see genocide
Clicking and typing just makes it worse
Calling each other "dogs" a repeated curse
Dogs!
Dehumanizing the enemy
For the purpose of easy slaughter.
The devoted mother and father
The innocent son and daughter
Where is this God?
Either/ any version will do
Or is it all about NOTHING!
Nothing but ******* and greed.
Click, click...
ISIS
When will humanity wake up
I hate war, the people that create it, the fools that perpetuate it and myself for being so impudent on the subject, but for all the good religion has brought the world ...it just needs to go! Yes, I am holding back.
