They say words and weapons kill,
So our leaders drafted bill after bill.
Yet now we see, with mournful eyes—
Man needs neither to cause his demise.
It takes but a moment—
Then no voice, no sentiment
Will soften the sound
Of shattered dreams on blood-stained ground.

WAITING FOR DEATH
How tedious it is waiting for Death
when She is still dressing up
to sit in a quagmire of silent prayer
while sandwiches turn dry
How tedious when a nappy
must still be changed
as Forgiveness waits for a touch
