Trying To Mix



I

Dancing lights
of magestic skies
fall upon sun baked shores,
untouched by man.

II

children's cries from hunger,

genocide, molestation
land on deaf ears,
as fathers fight for life

 


    ~in a land where

      greed and magic try to mix.

    Iraq? Afghanistan? Israel? Beautiful use of the language dear. For some reason this had Middle East written all over it for me, but that is probably because I have a son who had four tours of duty there and a purple heart to show for it.

    The last two lines are great. You did a wonderful job with this. Write on, poet.

    Blessings,
