Love Poem: The Curtain of Pain Fell Upon Us

The Curtain of Pain Fell Upon Us

The cotton runs high in the Taliban sky
Resistance continues, into the south.
I watch nightly news with a heavy sigh 
Not letting judgments escape from my mouth. 

I see the pain that rues life for the same 
For their families each suffer loss too.
For those seeking revenge or seeking fame 
They know not what damage to souls they do. 

Children need to come first, not the adverse 
In a sinful will that tears life apart.
Bless all who try to obtain a reverse
That fight for God's light that dwells in their heart.

May love spread throughout in pink healing light
That peace may finally dwell with insight.
