The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Cradle of Humanity?

Cradle of Insanity?

 

Looking at the Real World in which we live, this poem struck sparks from the walls in which I work.

 

Ouch!

 

But a good read...

 

It's nice to see someone posting Non-Archmage stuff here at the Pen. It might encourage others to feel freer in their scope of postings too.

Oh cradle of an ancient people

The earth beneath you rocks.

Your belly spits up fiends

Flying on opiate wings.

Insatiable their thirst.

Blood! Blood! And blood!

 

Your halcyon a faience, shattered

In bullet-rain.

Grotesque your children lay

Their blood drip down

Blackened burnt bricks,

Monuments to their rage.

 

Your leaders imbued with hatred

Heuristic bats, blinded

And deaf!

Deaf to the wailing of your women.

Childless! Widowed!

They dance with the rumblings of the 'shakabula'

In attire they splattered with red.

 

Oh ancient people,

See how your cradle rocks.

Still the baby sleeps?

When will this fratricide cease?

Sorry man, but you keep on slipping through the cracks.... Well, at least you got another reply.
