Another bomb caused damage,
endangering fatigued gentiles.
Hundreds injured justifies killing??
Let me never observe persecution,
questionable restraining.
Such tortures usually verify war.
*Xenophobic youth, zealous.
And battle cries descend; endangering friendships;
grievously harming innocent juveniles;
killing; laming; maiming.
Noble oppressors persecuting,
quarrelling.
Racial slurs thrown,
ultimately vindicating war.
Xeroxed yarns!! *Zoopsia!!!
Author notes
*Xenophobia = afraid of foreigners {n}
*Zoopsia = visual hallucinations of animals {n}

This is good. I like your double. I can't say I understand xeroxed yarns(?) but maybe you could just add it to your author notes (so to keep your identity secret). But that's just a small point- this is amazing - you did a good job using this form to write about such a meaningful subject.

Well, I had a job trying to figure out what words to use, so started with the hard letters and built from that....
Xeroxed Yarns.... you know, the news.... same thing over and over, as in xeroxed and yarns, well another name for stories. And thank you so much for my trophy!!!

Perfect
This is a very good piece. I haven't been able to write much lately, and I have no idea how you could have had this come to mind...It's great.....And I wonder how long it took you to make the alphabet throughout the entire poem...GREAT!
