Collateral Damage?










The years spent by a nurturing and caring hand
Life as precious as her life . . . gone in a second

Ignoring life in satisfaction of a promise
An action that seems to be a blatant excess

For even a beast’s life is precious, man’s life should be
God offered the life, only He, can take it away 

The authority, supposed to be the protector
Appears to be the punisher and masked aggressor

Yet, the lies and insistence that all is in triumph
Seemingly giving the people nothing but false hope

To defend is not to transgress, saying it’s legal         
Man is not a toy but with flesh and blood that’s real

The intent that is supposed to be for everyone
A good intent yet wrong . . . the manner how it is done

For when the implementation is not what we hope for 
All is off-beam . . . then the graveyard is only for the poor
