A Flash of Light in the Night
Reflecting on wars
A Flash of Light in the Night belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Core [C.O.R.E] and WMGIt starts again, flash of light in the night
Explosions, running to a shelter
Retaliation, the cries of children
As the tanks move in once again
Blood, streets of blood and ruin
All the lives displaced by wars, never won
All in the name of religious differences
What God would sanction this distruction?
Where’s the end to all of this?
Hatred breeding more hate
Killings breeding more killings
Until hope dissipates once more
The streets are empty now
The shopkeepers gone
The buildings in ruin
Lives lost, weeping women
Holding on to memories of dead loved ones
Who wins in this?
