While the rich are getting richer, so tell us something new!
They're fighting for religion and innocent blood is spilling
What the hell is going on, do they enjoy the killing?
The IRA, the PLO, initials of the butchers
Not caring if they maim or kill, or who their madnesss touches
They're fighting for a cause (they say) and carry on the slaughter
The 'enemy' are slain by thugs, be they mother son or daughter
When will it all finish, will it ever end in peace?
If I were god, I'd say that's enough and terminate the lease.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
