On Filling The Gaps Of Insanity.
©-MFB III
Would that they
were all blanks!
Blank checks
to fill the needs
of the unblanketed,
and the empty bellies
of the hungry.
Endless blank spaces
on the casualties of war list.
Blank bullets firing off
nothing but noise.
Blank headlines,
covering nothing
tragic in all the
countries of woe.
Blank books about hate.
and brilliant blank verse
that moves all men's
hearts to peace.
Blank faces staring out
at the sunrise in
Baghdad and Islambad,
and in Afghanistan
without the agonies of
an I.E.D. becoming D.I.E.D.
.......as veiled women
bend to ordinary tasks.
Shepherding children
off to school,
baking pita bread;
hot and savory,
filled with
the meat of plenty,
from a pacifistic
sacrificial lamb!
