Armageddon
POETRY FORMAT, 11 Apr 2016
Jose Maria Lopera – TRANSCEND Media Service
I cannot feel peace while
genocidal wars kill
innocent children,
helpless men and women
with the cruel weapons of science
I will not enjoy a guiltless life,
indifferent to the drama of immigrants,
as they flee in terror
the appalling barbarism
of imposed fanaticism.
My light is in darkness
when I suffer
Men are wise and free
but enslaved by science,
creator of frightening works
of efficient killing.
There is the threat of extinction
in human genes
where even the light of light
shouts out darkness.
