Stop it now

 Biking tonight


            Passed through the University


                        One building caught my eye.


The biology building


            So tall and proud and sleek


                        A marvel of modern engineering


Many high-rise condos


            Along the peaceful canal


                        Where people pass their tranquil lives.


Then, a missile crashing into residences


            All is gone in a flash!


I am stunned


            Sick to my stomach,


                        Full of grief and sadness.


The shattering destruction of war


            Our fragile earth is being torn up by this madness


                        Dear God, deliver us from ourselves.
