Metaphor For A Modern Time

My vision of a shattered world.

A war-torn life,
An empty cage,
Bird shot down.
The gun is held by those who argue against action.

A broken nose,
A torn ear,
A scarred face.
The perfect metaphor for a modern time.

A president flattens the homes of thousands,
We call it sadistic.
Another kills thousands in a war,
We call it a crusade.

This vision of a shattered world is not imagined.
It is here.
It is now.
It has to stop.
