On Guernica

entry picture

Inspired by the painting, Guernica, by Pablo Picasso...

 

A twisted mass of flesh and death

A monstrous congregation

gathered under stark electric light

and a burning, uncaring sun.

 

Death has come to Guernica

And horror follows in His wake

 

Tears shed, blood bled,

vision is distorted.

As war and thunder sweep this land,

life is aborted.

 

Severed limbs and severed lives

The torture of divides.

That wailing animal cry

Echoes through our history

Preserved forever in one mans eye

scarred across his heart.

 

Death has come to Guernica

And horror follows in His wake.
