beyond belief

words do not shrink
nor do they hide from
the bloody horrors
of last week's news
and the debaseing
of holy men that was
almost beyond belief
that will never now be forgotten
can never now be denied.
for these reasons
words neither shrink nor fail
but will always be kept alive.

still missing

according to reports
thousands are still
missing and thousands
more all round the world
are still hoping and
praying for safe resolution
to the whole situation that seems
so unsafe
and so uncertain;
meanwhile all we can do
we do
and hope and hope

a tear falls

a tear falls
I cry.
a drop of blood spills
I cry.
news on tv tells
but where are all
the missing monks?
a tear falls
more drops of blood spill
but the flame still burns
and spirit glows
for they are
not martyrs but monarchs
and kings among men.
