Scorched Earth, Tragic End (Tanka)

Scorched earth, tragic end

Dignity strewn far and wide

–No rest for the dead

Stranded in frozen boxcars

Awaiting man’s compassion

      Thank you Ellespeth, I just don’t know what else to say about the inhumanity of this act, it saddens me.

      It certainly is, it makes me wonder if mankind has completely lost its mind. :(

    Well-written Dom. I simply can’t understand the type of monsters who rejoice at these deaths, who have such little respect for human life and human dignity.

      Absolutely. It makes no sense whatsoever. People like these are really nothing more than thugs and criminals who feel empowered by having and using weapons for the destruction of life.
