A cowardly escape

alan b

 

War

A cowardly escape

From intractable problems

Posed by peace.

Demons conjured by senseless words

Are projected on the faces of children

The real enemies within

Silenced 

by the shooting of a gun

As if

With bullets

We can silence

The voices of fear that echo

Until kingdom come
