One Child – for Right2Write Prompt 9 Stop Terrorism
Amazing piece, we all should read this
The death of one child
is the death of the world
Sand arising as mother earth
shakes off her despair
and hungers for an artist’s vision there
Reptile brain awakens
flooding the system
with fear and alarm
The eye watching over us
blinking so slowly
means us some harm
The death of one child
is the death of us all
The universe turns
slow and elliptical
creating and recreating itself through pain
Grasping for a victory
or a vengeance creates
blood on blood
Devastation fields
Streets of fallen limbs
Nothing is good
The death of one child
is the death of the world
