🇺🇸American Sonnet🇺🇸 No. 2 – Mankind🇺🇸

Written by Carolyn Crossley VixenOfVerse

#American #Sonnet

When is enough, ever enough?
Enough war, and enough death, 
human bodies buried beneath
the rubble of what was once
their homes, schools, and work.
I must be talking about Gaza,
but equally, I am talking about Ukraine, and I could be describing 
Northern Ireland in the seventies.
Two World Wars did not convince
us that no one wins in a war.
All those atrocities, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and death.
When will man start being kind?
