Has the world gone stark staring mad?
Conflict I can understand, sectarian killing is just plain bad.
Eating an enemy goes way beyond, what is going on?
Is someone of another faith an enemy, what are they on?
We seem to live in a world where people are losing their reason.
In the affluent west we watch in horror at the daily list of atrocities.
Is there nothing that can be done? To help these desperate souls.
Whose image of life puts no boundaries in place to preserve civilisation.
We need to do more it’s not enough to send aid and soldiers.
We need to help peoples to rebuild the sense of community they have lost.
We march in with our high ideals and walk out leaving a disjointed society.
Sometimes it seems we make things worse and leave locals to count the cost.
