From the air nothing moved in the rubble
after the months of pounding
no building from shells bombs and artillery
was complete thousands had died
bodies still lay underneath the ancient city
anybody there could only feel pity!
High definition images made it look surreal
a once proud and thriving culture
following the same paths as their ancestors
caught in an international conflict
that did not care of the human lives or cost
so many generations ever lost!
He was powerless sent to record the aftermath
of this brutality and utter carnage
he had seen it so often the pointlessness of war
the displacement of the survivors
torn from the only lives they had ever known
their plight captured by a drone!
The people of the world watched then moved on
shocked yet this was but one story
destruction and domination was not new to man
this had always gone on the few ruled
over the masses who suffered at their cruel hands
upon us peasants in all the earthly lands!
Until man is eradicated himself from existence so be it!
