Killing Fields


An Endless History
Throats choked into silence,

raging rivers of red

spread across parched land,

men like animals prowl

for the young and feeble.

A shinning sun becomes

a cruel joke

lighting up atrocity

into clear view.

Good men do nothing

as the indifferent

read about celebrity gossip.

Cracked cartilage,

broken bones,

empty eyes,

flies buzzing in the heat.

This is an unending legacy

greater than all our technology.

Behinds masks of civility

is the true face of our kind.
