As always, I stand in awe of your writing ... this is a great
tribute to the victims in South Africa, and a powerful commentary on dark side of humanity.

I shivered and got goose-bumps as I read this poem. We all have right to worry for the madness in this world, but I doubt it was god's plan have that included...I think murder and madness comes from our own insecurities. But what do I know! Wonderful write!!

A great write -- powerful, thought-provoking. I share your care and concern for our sisters and brothers of this hate-laden land. Thank you for sharing. Peace, blessings and understanding.

Bleeding Souls
Portrait of blood
Outrageous fear flood
Life draining anarchy
Piercing merciless quandary
Entrapped souls in damnation
Dark garden of pandemonium
People begging for sanitarium
Leader’s blind sarcasm
Living in insane continuum
Sinister invasion in devilish unison
Mirror of life
Of this world’s darkest pride
People turning blind spy
Pretending they did not pry
Of the horrible scathe before their eyes
Clear water turns to blood
Laughter’s robbed by slaughters
Children sabotaged like chickens
Dinner on the table
Served in colossal horror
Oh President, Mr. President!
Can’t you see the magnanimous detriment
Your country is drenched of bleeding county
Look out your glass window
Warlocks of god befall hemorrhaging sparrows
“God have mercy…”
“People of South Africa you are not alone!”
