mixed fruit, jam

Feeling : hungry
Listening to : smoke on the water - deep purple

mixed fruit, jam

slates of skin, chalk of bone
pain untold, screams unheard.
blue eyed stare, bloodied nose
broken limb, scratched elbow.
stitches stretching, bruises spreading
cuts opening, bones breaking.
faces twisted, eyes unblinking
mouths curled, ears tuned.
fingers shaking, knuckles cracking
fists flying, kicks soaring.
clothes tattered, money lost
assets gone, dignity stripped away.
friends lost, families disappeared
armies fighting, people crying.
public moaning, private slaughtered
leaders laughing, masses dieing.
murderers killing, rapists fornicating
governments torturing, leaders bullying.
lovers crying, partners lost
children missing, parents weeping.
papers rumpled, computers destroyed
radios brain-washing, televisions hypnotizing.
buildings falling, bridges collapsing
statues tumbling, houses of worship defaced.
art lost, hearts broken
innocence lost, childhood gone.
refugees running, united nations controlled
puppeteers smiling, resources stolen.
oil drained, barrels taken
tankers filled, cars polluting.
blind lead, blind follow
deaf hear, dumb speak.
politically incorrect, guerrilla warriors
rebels fighting, victims dieing.
peace unheard, wars fought
reasons unjust, people wronged.
terrorists win, innocent suffer
politicians whine, results bogus.
pain for all, victory for none
people still at large, nothing’s over!
