Again Yet Again

My own night spliced together the black sky And the quieted calm collapse Of staring silently towards the heavens That held the moon...my beloved moon In France, their evening split wide open And why.. Oh do please tell me why Why innocence is sliced, shaken and spilled Again, yet again By an evil my heart can never conceive Am I to believe this is to be tolerated This is how the world unravels It's 'New Normal'... Again, yet again Left to question the unthinkable maddness That carves into my poet's heart And leaves me weeping for the want of peace And the ceasation of useless ignorance Often dressed up in a disguise of delivering The phophet's promise And some understandable purpose A purpose I can not grasp I can only grieve and grieve I do For the loss...for the loss And the cost and such a cost When children sing no longer Mothers lose their sons and daughters Fathers faces are left behind Only to be kept in picture frames When night is shattered, reasoning scattered Lives taken, destroyed, splattered By nothing that makes any sense at all... And evil, I dare say and call it such.. Again, yet again Screams at me from the headlines And rips at the hearts of all Who are righteous...courageous Seeing the sights under the firework skies That we scramble to accept as truth Again, yet again Streets, littered with lifeless bodies While the brokenhearted moon Cries along with the startled stars Again, yet again I recall the towers taken... And lend my sympathetic soul To stand in unison, as the world mourns The sadness in Nice The sickness like a cancer grows We, only we with a conviction of strength And a resolve of rising up With love to squelch the hardened hatred That has no place under my magical moon That moon, that one moon that illuminates Us all, One World. And why not strive to be just that Again, yet again.
