Starved...
Of life...
Fasting...
For hope...
Desperate...
In attempts...
Misguided...
In belief...
Lonely...
In history...

Not even the madmen...

All said...
All forgotten...
Will they find this soul...
Buried in the rubble...

History written...
Deep-rooted in photos of despair...
Parading a war so unfair...
Brought by heir...
Personal desire satiated by suffering...
Spirits shattered...
Others to fight your war...
Barren to the bone...
Challis covering skeleton...
All the while...
Innocence dwindled...
Faith entombed...
Etched in earth...
All for self-worth.

It all seems so pointless, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletethis is so well done and the images enhanced the meaning. Such depravity. Makes you ashamed to be a human.
ReplyDeleteI swung by here for Sun. Scribblings, but read this first. What a powerful, well-written piece. Reality needs to be changed. BTW, my Google link doesn't connect to my blog so here is my link
ReplyDeleteClick here for my poem please
Thank you all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteDee, these images were actual pictures taken by my Grandfather who served in the Army during WWII. Pretty sad!!
Thanks S, I will go check out your piece.
This has to be one of the most unthinkable things to have ever happened. Those images are striking.
ReplyDeleteBri, this is terribly sad. History infuriates me mainly because there is still so much ignorance in this world and this type of hate persists.
ReplyDeleteAlso, those are pictures are actual pictures my grandfather took while in the Army during WWII. When people say what is written in history didn't happen, send them this way. Maybe they will realize that history is truth, but they have the ability and the power to change the future.
As always, thanks for reading and commenting.
