“Blood on the border”*

(from my book of selected poetry, Quo Vadis?)

It is no use repeating

the question

or trying to find

an answer:

why does man inflict

pain unto himself,

and upon  others?

Stomping

blossoming flowers

it is a mega crime!

The inhuman side

of man is

well looked after…

Ironically,

he calls himself

man of our times,

and emphasizes

the importance of…

 

“Love the children…

The Kingdom belongs

to them!”
