Perspective

More bloodshed, more blood shed

Not a drop reaches the ground.

Is it stopped by

The impenetrable cloak of countless dead,

Or the thick shroud of apathy?

Maybe the violence is

A fitting consequence of past deeds?

We reiterate, dust to dust and ashes to ashes

Do we care in these times-

Every being on its own,

Life hurtling, destination unknown?

No matter what the end,

But a footnote will finally

Represent each carnage9-

9Collateral Damage.
