Prompt ~ CASUAL INJUSTICE
CASUAL INJUSTICE
by John Yeo
They knew It was wrong from the moment it happened
The enemy were slaughtered it was kill or be killed
At the end of the battle they were deeply saddened.
~
When the artillery blasted the village was flattened
The survivors were helpless captured and grilled
They knew It was wrong from the moment it happened.
~
With the madness of war their minds were maddened
Showing icy indifference the orders were filled
At the end of the battle they were deeply saddened.
~
Their inhuman actions were never examined
Their alien beliefs were ingrained, hate instilled
They knew It was wrong from the moment it happened.
~
The ultimate outcome had been planned and patterned
Collateral damage would be impossible to rebuild
At the end of the battle they were deeply saddened.
~
Their robotic minds may one day be challenged
Their casual injustice and cruelty that chilled
At the end of the battle they were deeply saddened
They knew It was wrong from the moment it happened.
