Ballistic Extermination



    Ballistic Extermination

We see them, we hear them,
We bleed for their suffering and pain.
The homes are demolished, families
Uprooted and unjustly disposed.
No where to hide, no where is save!
The refuges and shelters demolished
And the sky rains constant hell,
No water, no power and food  is burnt
Worst no escape.
All the roads are bombed,
And shells are in excess,
There is hope and nothing else!
Mothers, children, siblings
And grandparents escaping
On bullets swanned earthquake,
Made at the hands of man
And his mad machine of plague,  
Dearth and murder of the old
The young and still unborn.
To what end to what gain?
Man madness beyond imagination.
Defacing of the value of human lives.
To what end, for hell to what end?
Stop in the name of the living,
And so many dead.
Stop!
Halt this death!
There is no end to this death and hell.
Act now and let human flesh
Escape this ballistics Extermination
And the unending HELL.
