ugly dawn

ugly dawn

an ugly dawn breaks 

over shattered lives

shining down 

upon devastation below

carnage 

the word

comes to mind

for the scent of death

is everywhere

hanging low

as insult to those

survived

a crying child

is heard in distance

why or for whom

one might never know

the lessons lost

need be remembered

for this is an easy ride

as death needs no tickets
