Watch The World Poem by Major Elazia

I watch the world in helpless consternation
Not from a moral high stool but from a mind hanging
Dangling imaginatively in the emptiness of the skies
From a high cliff in the bare mountains the desert stretches far
Far, far and wide below in the foothills
I witness empty souls of men being dragged
To meet their final destiny in the hands of captors


I sense the desperation of the victims,
Who have been left to roast in the desert sun and sands
While the world is beyond their reach,
A world they live in yet it can't help them out
I can sense their screams and pain in death
The masked men bring an end to innocent lives
The world helplessly searches for a clue
A clue hidden high up in the beams of the skies


But the world has ears stationed in outer space
These eyes are used only discriminatory to aid the privileged few
Those who pose meaning to the muscled men of the world
And so, the innocent die, branded as dogs
The world fails to help.
And the Merchant of Death have beheaded more
While silence and condemnation does nothing


The cry is unheard by the ear but felt in the heart
The pain does no physical injury but mortally affects the survivors
And yet, the innocent are gathered to work in the frontiers
Where they are left as helpless victims of the merchants of death
Who care not your faith but your submission to them
They attract no mercy even from their kind who question their ways


So the world keeps watching
As the merchants of death take control of Mosul
Burn victims alive from Jordan,
Terminate innocent lives in Kenya,
And wrecking havoc in Maiduguri and Kano in Nigeria
The world must resolve to work with a final push
A have a lasting outcome that protects all.
