War Poem by Catherine Habbie
War
Far away in Damascus
A falling star lit up the night sky
2000 years ago one more did appear
To tell people do not fear
But now the air is filled with mournful cries
Of children rubbing acid from their eyes
Mankind has evolved indeed!
As memories of innocent lives
In the distance recede
Man is overcome by greed
Land, arms, pelf & pride
Just another game to divide
