As war unfolds
Death and pain
Spill onto my screen
Onto innocent faces
Soldiers and militants
Kill any person
Indiscriminately
Leaving empty faces
Families in anguish
Beseech the watchers
To intervene
Heartbroken faces
World leaders make speeches
Promises made
While suffering continues
Face of terror
Critics smear and geer
Bolstered by politics
Loudly commenting
Ugly old faces
Parents trying to explain
How men destroy
And people die
Sad faces
Horrible scenes
Replayed at nauseum
Desensitizing us
Blank faces
Well said.
