Heartless Creatures, Too Blind to See

 

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!
