IN VAIN?

Charles J. Ingerson: In Vain?
Photo ©Copyright 2012 by Charles J. IngersonQuickly the water filling
men screaming in vain
there waves no more flag
no son’s/daughter’s brag
waves like falling rain
so many sailors killing;

Rockets deadly bright
unfeeling of any hurt
napalm destroying all
in vain is heard our call
none any longer alert
innocence asleep tonight!
