Fear Of War. Poem by Tony Adah

I have seen
A gory horror
Theatre of war
Anti aircraft missiles
Sending deadly meteors overhead
Women and Children
Innocently captured by
The munitions of war.
I am heartbroken
At what man
Does to man
In the savagery
Of carving niches
And territorial expansion.
I am weeping
At this treachery
And negation of human existence
I am weeping
With teary eyes
But it seems
I am weeping
In the rain.
I am weeping
And I feel like running
Away for my dear life
My adrenaline is pouring
It can never know
That these heartrending
Episodes are only televised
Scenes of the actual
In the mid-eastern flank
Of the surface of this
Wicked world.
