Run... run while you can before the envelopment entraps you encapsulating escape with leaden clouds skies darkened by searing missiles unburdening caches waiting for the stirring of conflict so easy to hijack as hatred screams loudest drowning out the pleas of nursing mothers as children's faces fend off old feuds and avarice of arms dealers

futility of war
Run... run while you can before the envelopment entraps you encapsulating escape with leaden clouds skies darkened by searing missiles unburdening caches waiting for the stirring of conflict so easy to hijack as hatred screams loudest drowning out the pleas of nursing mothers as children's faces fend off old feuds and avarice of arms dealers
sparked by grief over the slaughter and scarring of children and families due to avarice of war
