Melissa L. Pelletier - War

Thunder rolls in the distance
like drums of a heartbeat
stomping through the veins of humanity
fires of ignorance smolder across
an ocean of contempt
babies cry precious sorrows of
the forgotten, beneath the
footstepsof elite
the sun does not shine today
planet earth has warned us before
too much blood spilled on
her lovely face, her children have
not learned from past mistakes
fathers killing mother's son
breeding everlasting hate.
