This descent to hell,

this one man's hobby war

is beyond comprehension,

beyond redemption,

where all levels of humanity

are crushed beneath

the brutal weight of a tyranny

whose deadly bullets -

and murderous shells -

are killing children where they hide.-

Is this the definition

of deliberate genocide?

 

There are no winners

the bloody deed is done,

death and destruction

have already won,

and we who stand and watch -

and we who grieve -

can only wring our hands and weep

for the dying and the dead,

and as for those who live -

who still fight on -

their courage numbs their dread

and leaves us humbled
