Thoughts and War

I wrote this about two weeks ago. I'll admit, I was not in the greatest mood that night.

***

Always shifting
             never straight.

Summer branches
sway to the left
or right.

Never -

swaying with me.
as I walk this room.
With circles, waiting
for their ends.

War waits for its end
while a mother’s grief
                        never ceases.

Who profits ?
the earth in a way.
Blood enriches the soil.
One less human,(maybe)

will destroy it now.

The radio plays a tune.
Does death love this songs?
Is each of the notes,

a grave marker
                for the future?

I can’t hope anymore.

I’m too old
and alone in this world.

I’ll pray but why ?
When it’s his words,
causing the world’s grief.
