ODE TO MARCHING (Head-Lines 2017)

DEATH TOLL RISES TO 28 IN GUATEMALAN CHILDREN'S SHELTER They keep climbing These numbers of flesh and bone These cherubs of misfortune Breathe breath into their Spirit That we might always love them --- IRAQ INTENDS TO DRIVE ISLAMIC STATE OUT OF MOSUL WITHIN A MONTH We repel more than we accept We're bound to run out of room --- US SENDS MARINES TO SUPPORT RAQQA ASSAULT And marching in we go Moving in formation Sheep led to slaughter Wolves howling war's ode --- © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
