a life taken a life broken a life lost (say forgotten) a life begins and ends, never lived no recognition no words of dear ones bombings silent screams voices flattened in the mud - ash (loud ones heard by none) wars marching or killing sometimes both together (mass graves no burials no rites) revolutions burning homes buildings towers (men women children infants) freedom is the prize. ****** is the price. why did no one stop? all life is sacred. still, time marches on, blood up to it's knees. more destruction more violence, their excuse? peace honor religion opinions? rallies of hate against voices of love. barbarians in the age of civility... an ache begins in the seeing heart why did no one stop? the pain of knowledge chokes on tears why haven't they stopped yet?

all life is sacred
Being Alone is the absence of love With love missing, care quickly follows Self-annihilation ensues post haste That makes one ripple Gliding across all of the Earth now subject to the butterfly effect
