When darkness reigns in hearts
brains and other body parts
Sapiens draw lines to part ways
Creating clans of inequality
Producing enemies to
justify murderous wars
organized mayhem
Buildings collapse
Precious Blood
pools and dries on rubble
A world of bystanders, watch
and pray

I like the succinctness, it really drives it home.
Thank you, Melissa!
Yes, it seems there is too many dark hearts leading us to dark times.
The world has become a dark place indeed.
There is nothing good in this kind of dark. Why can’t humanity finally say “ENOUGH”?
Sam, this kind of darkness we should all fear.
The last stanza sounds apocalyptic.
Very true. Often I stay away from the news, and when I look at Human history and all the current conflicts, I just feel like we will never change. But then I get out of my funk and I’m hopeful again. 🙂
We can’t help being hopeful. Hope is all we have. 🙂
The most terrifying kind of darkness, well captured in your quadrille, Sam.
