Blood On Your Hands Poem by Hebert Logerie

Killing women and children
Is absolutely unacceptable
Executing sick and old men
Is obviously low and despicable.

You can make countless speeches
You can invent endless excuses
Slaughtering so many is genocidal
Hurting so many can never be justifiable.

The world is now less peaceful and civilized
A cease fire is long overdue and warranted
This is barbaric; too many leaders are demented.

When will decency and humility be exercised?
Lies won't fly, because they have no visible wings
This is horrific; too many have blood on their hands.
