Blood And Guts

Blood And Guts

Where gunfire and explosions have filled poisoned air,

Now pleas of wounded and dying underline a nightmare.

The day has been for some so long, for others so short,

As in a few insane hours a salutary lesson has been taught.

Failure of indiscriminate targeting to gain an advantage

Has led to an abomination leaving all witnesses in outrage.

Any honour on the battlefield has become a complete myth,

With rivers of blood and guts soiling this battered earth.

As of yet no one can declare how many have fallen here,

But the utter futility of this monstrosity is abundantly clear.

To be recorded as a total waste of so many precious lives,

It is a miracle of some description that any one survives !

Hello Richard...

Suicide bombers struck again...

There's a show on back to back called Doomsday 10 Ways that World Will End...

There's one that mentions Nuclear war plunges the planet into an ice age and drives humanity to the brink of extinction...

Another one is Solar Storm Education.

A solar storm turns Earth's electrical system into a smoking ruin, and modern civilization must cope without power...

Another one is Rogue Planet Education.

If a rogue planet was on a collision course with Earth, it would pull it to pieces.

Many people think there's a type of contest and who wants to destroy it first...

That's what all of this is mainly about...

If everyone is dead then who's going to pay for goods and taxes?

There won't be children to make babies...

Between murders and being left in places to die...

It's a very sad and very true...

It's just terrible how people trying to gain position and power and putting threats in all over the place...

All of this killing and destruction will be for what again?

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

You can not have your opinion of the world situation swayed by a culture of fear propagated by the media.

There is an abundance of good deeds and things to enjoy, experienced by the vast majority. Only in certain regions does war and poverty dominate and here work has to be done to improve living conditions.

Love and hugs !  x

My Brother Poet Richard,

The tears we cry for the innocents, the victims of the new insanity of mankind.  Caught in its crossfire they perish.  The slaughter of the lambs in the name of casualties of war.  Where does it end?

Peace and Love,

No good soul wants war but evil is evil and sometimes war is required to suppress those trying to instigate evils design. Innocents killed, collateral damage, is a tragedy of modern warfare. Righteousness fighting on behalf of values and principles must keep this characteristic of the times to a minimum. Evil does not care how many die but soldiers battling for good do.

Warmest wishes to you.

May peace and love reign.
