Smoking Hope

Why won't you hold out your hand
to retrieve me from the bloodied sand?
I can not see the skies above me
Though I hear the Falcon's scream

A cry of hate and outrage
from the horror played on war's stage
upon the shifting sands of Blame
arguments are snapped and strained

High above the Plains of Refuge
where all hope is subterfuge
The Falcon circles restlessly
awaiting a cease to Fallacy

His cool eye rests upon my brow
and though I could not tell you how
I felt His gaze and He cried out
urging my reply, I shout

And after my pained rasping breath
I screamed of curdled, bloody death
and soon I felt His beating wing
and heard the Sirens softly sing.

    Very interesting title of the poem. There are good rhymes too. A lot of pain and emotions
