Heartless
Creatures, Too Blind to See
To
see little children, sadly watching, as their mothers died,
Losing
the one, they so loved in whom they most relied.
And
helpless mothers, holding infants, as they faded away,
Unable
to help, the haemorrhaging child, powerless to save.
Rescuers
clearing rubble, to locate those, who had survived,
Desperately
hoping, that the poor people, were still alive.
Elderly
people, that had been too fragile, to evade the threat,
Ugly
scenes, the first responders, will never, be able, to forget.
Rampant
fires, raging, as crews, frantically fought, the flames,
As
blazes devoured, innocent people, trapped in their homes.
Thick
dust, and smoke, in their lungs, obstructing their view,
Pumps
failing, water mains bursting, impeding the rescue.
Catastrophic
event, emergency services, struggling to compete,
Negotiating,
the massive piles of rubble, littering the streets.
Swarms
of missiles, still coming, army unable, to stem the flow,
Hospitals
destroyed, nowhere, for the seriously injured, to go.
The
city, still under, the relentless siege, sirens loudly wailing,
People
struggling, to save their city, daylight, rapidly failing.
Low
the creatures, that still defiantly stand, twisting the truth
The world has solemnly witnessed, there is no hiding the proof!
