Abode of death

Battle of Afghan hath begun
Relentless spirit of a Mater mind on end,
Brilliance of the earth's best army on another,
Between the unending spirit of two
Lay the hopes of Eastern Mother's & West Mother's.

Afrah hath not sighted her beloved
Hunger had struck her hut for long
Prayers were cast with celestial strength
For her child had vested hopes in future
A knock on the door she felt that day
Rushed to the door with unending hopes
Aghast# Irfan's corpse lay breathless at her breast !

Angela monitored the news with hope
A beloved was waiting in her womb
Passionless days past in her calendar
Suffering the hunted pain of mother hood
She arouse to a ringing bell
Measuring her thoughts opened the door
Aghast# John hath returned in a state of coma !

Days and night hath passed in Afghan
Vultures enjoyed the winter-fall profits
Suffering mothers raised their head
Fronting their gaze, a Grand drousy figure stood
With grandeur passion it laughed and said
"I am Thanatos-Demon personification of death"

i especially loved the line about the vultures profiting the most. as sad as that may sound...forgive me.
they bring home the fallen, and we are not allowed to witness. the war for lord and land...is only glorious in the movies.

Understanding 'inevitability' of karma
means you can comment without the drama
Write on the crazy dance of life
without the shock that increases strife...
Well done for combining good writing minus the need to 'judge.'thumbs up
