The Best Poem Of John Bata

Devastating Photos

The headline reads,
'Devastating Photos.'
The view is bleak.
Horror in the news.

Flashes.
Hand on my helmet.
I walk into the miasma
and wait.

Crashing.
Asleep for a change.
I can only see the
pictures that were laid out.

Pixilated mass carnage.
Memories of past friendships.
Something amiss.
The Earth shifts.
