Willem Grift - fields of war

© Willem Grift

The fields of war, 
where smoke and dust 
don't yet reveal 
the ruins 
and the bodies 
of the dead, 
the old, the very young 
and in between 
just lying 
where they fell 
or were shot down

as silent witnesses 
of human cruelty, 
disinterest and hate 
of worlds fallen apart 
of lost humanity

I can but look, 
aghast, despair
