[bodytext] => My child lies dead here by my side. A suicide blast made many die. Satan is here with a smile on his face, But he’s lost my child, he is now in God’s Grace! The cement dust now covers me With blood soaking head to toe. My modest clothing torn to shreds, This is a day of woe! Inside my son was playing games With his mother, now gone, and me. Occasionally we would wrestle, Or he’d nap upon my knee. Forever is a very long time For new absence to depart. The pain of losses seething, In my mind and in my heart! Tomorrow will be for vengeance. Today the grieving is all I feel. Where shall I lay my head tonight, And will my wounds then ever heal? That day has arrived, I’m armed to my teeth. I have lead armored plating, and boots on my feet. There are knives in my waistband A sword bound in it’s sheath, The cycle continues, where is war’s relief? Friends who have seen this most pitiful sight, Blaring on T V’s in their homes every night. Please know it’s not fiction, and the world’s not a stage, That we can ignore this coming hatred and rage! This poem penned with ink of tears Through blinded eyes and truth sincere. Lord please bring peace to this torn man That salvation may reign throughout all lands! ___________________________________________ Thanking everyone ahead of time for your comments on this poem FUTILITY'S FACE. It was the most difficult poem I ever wrote because tears flooded every second of it's construction, making it impossible to see and difficult to breathe!
