Ravages of Thought

I awoke this morning

among the rubble,

Skeletons of factory and home

Tears form in my heart...

I have seen much of the 

ravages of war

Destruction of lives brought

by

the hands of man...

These tears are not 

for that...
 

Memories, dreams

 crumbling to dust   

skeleton frames reaching,

grasping for lives long gone  

Too few return
seeking what was lost...
 

My heart cries for the ravages
of thought
brought on by

abandonment through

time
