Life is lost on many thoughts
Doodle and dawdled
Waited and procrastinated
I wondered the most wonderful things
Of flying horses and malevolent kings
Wondered thought the bazaars of Iran
Sat with fakirs of delhi
There wisdom and tales did enthrall me
Fought knights and married fair maidens
All in the sanctuary of my mind…
Lonely – Remembering Jo’s Legacy
I Am Not Human

I’ll never meet them
You took their lives
Their hopes, their dreams, their souls
They ended.
And those that you left alive
You took their lives.
Their hopes, their dreams, their souls
They ended.
Remembering Srebrenica
Trucks with shouting tannoys
Came circling the town
Protectors imploring residents
To a supposed safe compound
Handed over like cattle
Protectors turned perpetrators
Sending victims to a slaughter
Leaders unveiled as fabricators
When The Story Breaks of Genocide’s Wake
To witness, to hear
To release a tear
From safe havens far
Of a genocide scar
Reports incoming
Of random machine gunning
Pictures of a land
Where children once ran
Knowing Courage
Knowing your neighbour
Whom you greeted
Turned upon you
In a dreadful night
Knowing your hometown
Where your ancestors grew old
To be told you’re a stranger
By a stranger invading your home

in cold blood. Continue reading “Carnage Of Srebrenica”
